Donate Food

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.

The NFL Draft is here, and Pittsburgh’s feeling it. 🖤💛
We’ve got some Steelers gear on the shelves - clothes, cups, hats, and a few one-of-a-kind finds. All secondhand, all ready for this moment in the city.
Stop by to see what you can find and make sure you’re ready Thursday.

Something good is cooking today at Harvest on Main.
Grandma Flo’s meatballs are always available as a grab-and-go quart (6 in each), but on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they’re served hot and made to order too!
Easy to pick up if you’re passing through and looking for something delicious for lunch or dinner.

A couple months ago, a new neighbor came into the store looking for a few things to help him get back on his feet — a couple button-down shirts for job interviews, and a pair of shoes.
He had lost everything.
Second Harvest was able to set him up with a few shirts, and he bought a pair of shoes.
A few days later, he came back to share that he’d been going on interviews — and that things were starting to turn around. He told us he wouldn’t be where he is today without the help of Second Harvest, and wanted to come back to say thank you in person.
Not long after, in an extraordinary gesture of gratitude, he returned again after rallying his roommates to organize a small clothing and food drive in support of Second Harvest. In a note, he wrote that Second Harvest is “a pillar of light in an otherwise grey world,” and he “always leaves the store feeling brighter.”
Last week, he came in for his first volunteer shift — continuing to show up for this community in the same way it showed up for him.
We’re grateful to be a part of this community — where generosity ripples outward 💓
Here’s a small look at what’s on the floor at Second Harvest this week.
Quality secondhand clothing, a few ceramic pieces, kids’ toys, swimsuits, and some solid everyday shoes. Just well-kept items, ready for a second home.
If you’re nearby, feel free to stop in and take a look.
