Second Harvest Awards

The work has not let up this year and much of the effort even goes unseen. But there are always a few bright stars to celebrate while on the journey. These efforts have been recognized, and Second Harvest staff received the following nominations: Samantha Flores, Director of Program and Partner Services was honored with the Crain’s Cleveland Business 40 Under Forty Award. This award spotlights the best and the brightest of Northeast Ohio’s professionals who have yet to reach their 40th birthday. Sam and the 39 other nominees were honored for making a difference in a wide range of industries who are leaders in their fields. Sam is instrumental in creating new programs and ways to reach those community members who need our services. Congratulations to Samantha Flores!
