Second Harvest North Florida
Second Harvest North Florida (SHNF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Jacksonville, Florida that performs food rescue and redistribution to partner agencies in one quarter of Florida's 67 counties. The charitable organization has been active for over 30 years.
==History==
The original organization began in 1979 as a food program of Lutheran Social Services Northeast Florida, Inc., and is still controlled by their board of directors. The program expanded to become a food bank two years later, and continued to grow. They joined America's Second Harvest (now Feeding America) in 1984 as a certified member.
In 1996, Congress passed the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act, releasing those who donate food or distribute donated food from liability in the event that an individual is affected by the consumption of that food, provided that due diligence is exercised. This act enabled large corporations to donate usable food that they would normally discard, providing food banks with millions of pounds of food.
In the last five years, pounds of food distributed has increased from 7.6 million in 2008; 10.3 million in 2009; 19 million in 2010; 20 million in 2011; to 24 million in 2012. Feeding America has projected that by 2015, 40 million pounds will be needed to meet client need.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wenourishhope.org/north-florida-hunger-facts )〕
