Tragedy Strikes Local Food Bank

On Monday, February 28th, the rains fell heavy in East Tennessee and localized flooding began to occur.  One of the many businesses destroyed in Knoxville was Second Harvest Food Bank.


Here are few pictures taken by one of the Second Harvest employees.  This is our warehouse parking lot and those are employee cars completely submerged in water. 

In the back you can see our "reefer trailer", used to store any cold food items we can not fit into our cooler/freezer on a given day.  All the vehicles and the trailer are completely destroyed.

Over three feet of water seeped into our warehouse, destroying thousands of pounds of food and valuable equipment, including delivery trucks, fork lifts and offices. 

What happens when the organization that comes to the aid of those in need during disasters BECOMES the one in need?
