Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida seeks to work with partners among nonprofit agencies that have a 501(c)(3) Letter of Determination from the IRS as well as the Florida Consumer's Certificate of Exemption. In addition, applying agencies must have a mission to feed the hungry, the ability to store food safely and securely, and records to document their food program for at least 90 days.

Membership also depends on whether there is a need in the area.

Once this visit has taken place, the agency's packet will be reviewed by the Director of Agency Relations & Programs and partner agency status may be offered.
