Abundant Life Kitchen
A culinary arts training class for homeless and struggling adults. Students learn cooking skills while preparing food for on-site hunger-relief efforts in our community; while building self-confidence and learning job and life skills. |

Food for Kids
Food for Kids is a collaborative effort between Second Harvest and area schools. Food for Kids provides kids with a backpack filled with kid-friendly food to take home after school or on the weekends. |
Kids Café
Kids Café provides after-school meals to disadvantaged children in a safe, accessible, and convenient environment. Kids Cafe nourishes the mind, as well as the belly, through learning activities about hunger and nutrition. |
Knoxville Harvest
Knoxville Harvest rescues prepared and perishable food that would otherwise be thrown away from local restaurants, schools and other sources in the community. This food is rapidly distributed to soup kitchens and other hunger-relief agencies where it can be used quickly. |
Hunger 101
Hunger 101 offers information on hunger and poverty to community groups. The program may be run on site or off site. It may be tailored for children, youth or adults. We encourage participation in our volunteer program as an element of Hunger 101. |
Second Harvest operates several hunger-relief programs, each with a different focus. These programs are extensions of our traditional distribution service and reach out to people that can not be helped through typical food partner agencies. Each program is listed below in the Featured Program section.
