Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina (SHMETROLINA) strives through education, advocacy, and partnerships to eliminate hunger by the solicitation and distribution of food.

SHMETROLINA has been in existence since 1981. We provide a regional distribution warehouse and branches that supply food and grocery items to charitable agencies that assist people in need. SHMETROLINA provides food for over 800 partner agencies including soup kitchens like Urban Ministries, emergency pantries like Loaves and Fishes, homeless shelters like Uptown Men’s Shelter and Center of Hope, senior programs, and low-income daycares. SHMETROLINA annually distributes over 70 million pounds of food and other household items throughout our 24 county service region. 42 million pounds of our annual distribution is fresh produce, meat and dairy.
