Posted 8:51 am May 14th, 2008You know what offends me? Someone who is obviously misinformed about food banking making off-the-cuff remarks like that. In working with America's Second Harvest and food banks around the country, I can tell you that the slightest HINT of selling food is dealt with severely by this organization. There has never been a time that food banking has been more needed in this country and the work that these people do keeps communities together. Shame on that group for making such a statement.

Posted 4:43 pm April 30th, 2008Growing Bolder received two emails about a comment left on this page. They were left anonymously, but we feel they are worth posting to continue the discussion.
"The poster states that Second Harvest sells the free food they get. This is not true. It would seem that Penny, the poster, has her own agenda, which is apparently religious in nature. I find it offensive that someone claiming to be a Christian would lie about a non-profit organization that distributes food to the needy for free."
"Not the place to be denegrating the efforts of others, even if their methods do not co-incide with your own."
Please remember that you can post comments like this right here on the page -- so if you disagree with something, or are offended, let the community know!

Posted 9:06 pm April 24th, 2008We've been working with Mr. Bill for several years now and he is part of the reason we keep going back and volunteering at the Second Harvest Food Bank. He's just the greatest guy to work with.
