A fantastic organization with wonderful staff and volunteers! Last night, some coworkers and I volunteered to help with food prep.  We were given a detailed tour of the facility as well some history and background of the organization.  Then we were tasked with food prep, specifically sorting burger patties into trays, dicing ham, and finally clean up.  It was a good time; reminded me of working part time in my college days! The facility and equipment are very well kept.  The mission of not letting food go to waste and supporting those in need is highly admirable.  While Second Helpings appears well supported, hopefully other restaurants and retailers become aware and contribute to the cause when possible. A great way to volunteer!

No, they don't. Second Helpings, Inc. accepts donated perishable and overstocked food to prepare hot, nutritious meals for thousands of hungry children and adults every day, and distributes them free-of-charge to 80 social service agencies, such as shelters, community centers, low income day care centers and after school programs, in Greater Indianapolis. Second Helpings also trains unemployed and underemployed adults for meaningful careers in the culinary industry, giving them sustainable jobs in the food service industries.
