Following its Fresh Summit 2003 International Convention & Exposition in Orlando, Florida, PMA donated 345,182 lbs of fresh fruits, vegetables, and related products to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.

It was the largest donation ever received by the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, which collects, stores, and distributes donated food to approximately 500 non-profit member agencies in 11 Central Florida counties.

The Fresh Summit donation went to those 11 counties, as well as the cities of Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Miami, Fort Myers, Tampa Bay, and Mobile, Alabama. The latter services assistance programs in the Florida panhandle.
