Donate Food
The Community Free Fridge at Second Harvest is a grassroots food-sharing program that is fueled by the generosity of neighbors like you. Consider donating grocery staples, a home-cooked meal, or other non-food items that will go directly into the hands of a neighbor in need.

Second Harvest Community Thrift Store
The free fridge, freezer, and pantry are easily accessed through a separate entrance to the right of our Community Thrift Store’s front door.
Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year for neighbors to take what they need, and leave what they don’t.
We know there are many reasons why items may no longer be sellable, such as overstock, surplus production, discontinuation, or imperfect packaging – even when they are completely safe to eat. Redirect surplus product to the Community Free Fridge at Second Harvest and keep quality items out of landfills. Contact us to get started!
We’re proud to support local agriculture and provide quality, locally-sourced produce to the people we serve. By working with Second Harvest, you are increasing access to nutritious, fresh foods to our neighbors in Sharpsburg and beyond. Contact us to get started!
Giving comes in many forms – not just food. Second Harvest runs on donations of your time, quality goods, and monetary support.
Learn more about increasing the impact of your donations.
Give your time, support local families, and experience the joy of building community—side by side.
Your donated goods become dollars that are reinvested to create opportunity, increase food security, and build community.
While meeting material and relational needs is why we exist, neighbors like you are the how behind these critical programs.

A familiar face. A kind heart. A lasting impact.
For nearly five years, Mary Jayne has been a beloved part of Second Harvest.
From welcoming customers with a smile to building relationships with volunteers, donors, and neighbors, Mary Jayne has been a steady presence from our very first days. As Workshop Manager, she helped shape not just the day-to-day operations of our thrift store, but the warm, welcoming Second Harvest spirit so many people have come to know and love.
Following an injury earlier this summer, Mary Jayne recently made the difficult decision to retire in order to focus on her health.
While we’ll miss seeing her bright smile around the store, we’re even more grateful for the kindness, care, and joy she’s shared with this community over the years.
Please join us in wishing Mary Jayne healing, happiness, and a retirement filled with family, friends, and plenty of time with her great-grandbabies. 💛
