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.

August’s menu is all about making the most of the season. Think sweet corn, ripe tomatoes, fragrant herbs, and fresh-picked vegetables transformed into scratch-made meals, hearty favorites, and fresh new salads.
Alongside neighborhood favorites like Grandma Flo’s Meatballs and Better Than Betty’s Meatloaf, you’ll find seasonal specials including Caprese Chicken, Sweet Corn, Tomato & Parmesan Ravioli, Stuffed Peppers, and more throughout the month.

“Her heart has to be enormous. I don’t know how it fits inside her.” 💛
It’s one of our favorite moments from this story—but this has never been one person’s story. It’s always been a community story. As Bonnie says, “It’s such a caring, giving community, and the people with resources really want to see the people without do well.”
That generosity shows up every day—in volunteers who give their time, donors who invest in their neighbors, customers who shop with purpose, and community members who believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable goods and welcoming spaces.
We’re grateful to be part of this story, and even more grateful to share it with all of you. Thank you @pittsburghtodaylive @cbspittsburgh @upmchealthbeat #upmc #communitycommitment #communityheroes
