Schools Out Summer Food Drive with Second Harvest
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — School may be out, but hunger never takes a break. According to Feeding America, one out of five kids in Georgia are considered food insecure which means they can't always be sure where they'll get their next healthy meal. Second Harvest Food Bank of Coastal Georgia is working to step in and fill that gap for thousands of children in our area. It's a problem that can be even bigger during the summer months since they don't have access to meals at school. 'Summertime is not a vacation for every child,' Executive Director Mary Jane Crouch said. 'A lot of children and families depend on meals at school to help them get through budget wise and so when they get out of school, they don't have access to those meals.' All of us at WSAV News 3 are excited to kick off our third annual Schools Out Summer Food Drive to benefit Second Harvest. WSAV will be collecting healthy, easy-to-open and eat food items for kids such as apple sauce, fruit cups, pop top canned vegetables, soup and pastas. Our first event is coming up on Tuesday, June 3 from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. at Clearwave Fiber located at 135 Canal St. in Pooler. If you'd like to get involved, you can volunteer to help prep and provide meals or donate to the cause. For every dollar donated, Second Harvest can provide five meals, Crouch said. You can find a complete list of items you can donate along with all of our summer food drive dates and locations at There are 77 locations where children can get breakfast and lunch. Some are not readily available for everyone since some have pre-registered. You can check location near you by clicking or tapping here and inputting your zip code. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
