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.
Your donations provide free food for neighbors challenged by food insecurity.

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.

This kind of weather has a way of bringing up travel plans.
If you’ve got a trip coming up, there are a few pieces of luggage on the floor right now. Gently used and holding up well for another trip.
If you’re planning some time away, you’re welcome to come by and see what’s here.

What happens to meals that don’t sell? At Harvest on Main, they don’t go to waste.
As prepared meals near their sell-by date, they’re discounted — making them even more accessible. And anything still in the case is purchased through our food budget and stocked in the Community Free Fridge at Second Harvest.
It’s one way we’re working toward a near zero-waste market — while keeping good food within just a few blocks of where it’s made.
This Earth Day, we’re proud to share a model where less is wasted and more is shared.
We call it Second Serving — and it’s made possible by neighbors like you.
🛒 Shop Harvest on Main. Support Second Serving.
At checkout, you can make an additional gift to help purchase meals for the Community Free Fridge.
Since opening, customers have already contributed over $1,000 to help stock the Community Free Fridge with ready-to-heat meals. 💛
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.
