America's Second Harvest is a network of food banks across the US. Not only do they provide free food for families to take home, they also assist disaster victims with food supplies.
Some facts:
35 million Americans are hungry (meaning they do not have enough food in their home to feed every person adequately...NOT "hey I could go for some pizza right about now")
31.6% of all households served by the America's Second Harvest Network have had to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine or medical care.
With every one dollar you donate to the food bank, they can provide NINE dollars in food (source: San Francisco Food Bank).
They have a four-star rating from Charity Navigator and 98% of their budget goes to programs, the rest goes to administration and fundraising.
