Second Harvest Food Bank announces layoffs in wake of funding cuts

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — Second Harvest Food Bank is laying off people due to the loss of funding from the federal government, it announced today.

In a statement, the organization said it is losing $9.4 million in federal money this year alone.

“Like many food banks nationwide, we’re facing rising costs and a sharp drop in federal support,” the statement said. “In response, we’ve had to reevaluate how we serve our entire 23-parish service area.”  

Second Harvest said it is reducing its workforce across the board by 14%.

“This reorganization ensures we can pursue our mission to end food insecurity for the more than 436,000 in South Louisiana in a sustainable way,” the statement said. “This includes our expansion efforts with the recent opening of our new distribution centers in Lake Charles and Houma.”
