Yes. Many local food shelves, food pantries and hunger relief agencies today use a “shopper’s choice” model that allows you to make your own healthy food and grocery choices for you and your family.

Second Harvest Heartland sources and distributes a variety of culturally specific foods to our food shelf partners, such as jasmine rice, pollock, sardines and cumin. Many food shelves, food pantries and free food resources in our network offer options for those with dietary restrictions, allergies and other food preferences.

A prepared meal includes all the components for a healthy and nutritious meal, ready-made for quick and easy preparation at home. Access to prepared meals helps working families, students, seniors and others by reducing anxiety about where their next meal is coming from. It does more than simply address hunger—it also provides comfort, stability and peace-of-mind.

Our role is to supply groceries, fresh produce, and prepared meals to our partners and network of food shelves. However, our Care Center can help you find food through our network of food shelves and community resources, including food stamps (SNAP).

Second Harvest Heartland helps people access resources like SNAP (food stamps), CSFP senior food boxes, local food shelves, and more. Visit our Map of Food Near Me or contact us directly for help.
