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.

For our Prepared Foods Manager, Chris, the season of Lent has always meant pierogies on the table – the kind of meal that brought his family together.
Now that tradition lives here, too.
Chris’ handmade pierogies are available in the market case — simple, comforting, and perfect for a Friday meal.
Stop in and pick up a package today 💛
While researching neighborhood markets for Harvest on Main, Jill spent time visiting places she loves — including Mayfly Market & Deli @mayflypgh on Pittsburgh’s North Side.
While she was there, the team shared a story about a customer who stopped in every day during cancer treatment to treat herself to fresh flowers.
That moment stayed with her.
Now, Jill is bringing that same kind of everyday beauty to our neighbors here in Sharpsburg.
“I wanted it to be something we have here that feels nice, and brings a little bit of brightness to someone’s day,” says Jill, Harvest on Main’s Director of Operations. “Even if they don’t buy them, they’ll know we have them.”
If you’re nearby today, we hope you’ll stop in and bring a little brightness home with you 💐 @rootsellerpgh
We’re honored to be featured in Pittsburgh Senior News, highlighting the many ways older adults help power Second Harvest through volunteer service.
From tagging clothing to stocking the Free Fridge, seniors across our community bring their time, talents, and life experience to the work we do every day. And as many of them say — volunteering also brings connection, purpose, and belonging.
