A recent study reported on by Second Harvest Food Bank projected that 1 in 6 members of the Central Florida Community is food insecure. That means nearly 110 million more meals are needed to combat the urgent hunger crisis in our community. Here are five Orlando nonprofits and ministries doing their part to close the hunger gap.
