FAQs

The Second Harvest fundraising campaign runs year-round, from September 1 to August 31. So you can run your campaign for as long as you like! Whether it’s a one-day event, or a campaign that is active for a week, month or a year!

Aside from the Truck Pull Challenge where teams commit to raising a minimum of $2,500 to participate, there is no fundraising minimum required for any other campaign. We are deeply grateful for every dollar raised by our community. Every $1 helps us provide 5 nourishing meals to those in need.

No cost at all. Registering your campaignis free, and all tools and supportive materials are provided at no charge.
