Mission: America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest charitable
domestic hunger-relief organization, was first involved with
disaster relief in 1989 following Hurricane Hugo and the Loma
Prieta earthquake that struck San Francisco and the Central
California Coast.
Since then, America's Second Harvest has taken an active role
in recovery efforts following major disasters and is a member
of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
(NVOAD).
Through a network of over 200 regional food banks and
food-rescue programs, America's Second Harvest is able
to provide relief supplies to emergency feeding centers
serving disaster victims. In many disaster situations,
America's Second Harvest's network provides supplies to
emergency feeding centers operated by the Salvation Army,
the American Red Cross, the Southern Baptist Convention,
and others.

School Box is doing a drive to help in Austell area through WXIA. LDS reports that Cobb does not need more school kits at this time. *** In 2003, we renewed our Statement of Understanding between the American Red Cross and America's Second Harvest. It is a partnership that our entire network of food banks and food-rescue organizations are very proud of, and that enables us to more effectively collaborate and work together to fulfill each of our organizations' missions. We both recognize that we cannot afford to be caught off-guard. The number one priority of the American Red Cross during a crisis or natural disaster is rendering aid, not trying to solve logistical or supply problems. This is just one reason why we renewed our Statement of Understanding, which states: "During disaster operations, liaison will be maintained between the two organizations to ensure cooperation, to expedite services to those in need, and to minimize duplication of services." Depending on the degree of devastation, America's Second Harvest may need to secure an additional food bank warehouse to handle the disaster relief supplies. Teams of volunteers from the network also may be required to staff the additional storage facilities. All of these measures are designed to ensure that the demand for food and grocery supplies is met. In addition to the daily disaster of hunger, the America's Second Harvest network is well prepared to respond to the devastation of disasters. No matter where disaster strikes across the country, America's Second Harvest's network can provide relief for hungry people. ->
