They do wonderful work. Rescuing food and at the same time feeing those in need and simultaneously providing training in the service industry for individuals who could benefit from it. I call that a perfect trifecta.
All the folks here are just really friendly and upbeat. I have never encountered a rude employee/volunteer here.
Got leftovers from a company catering, or bought too much groceries, or run a business that may generate food waste? Bring what you cannot use to Second Helpings. No donation is too small or too big. Rest assured no food goes to waste. What they cannot use, they will pass on to other organizations.
They do have guest speakers available if you want to do a food drive for them or inspire others.
I try to attend their events like the Souper Bowl... Be prepared, this event is a mad house, but so much fun... Soup stations all around the building, try one, try all and then vote for your favorite. Some soups are also available for purchase. Non-alcoholic drinks are usually provided.
So next time you don't know what to do with food, your time or money, consider donating or volunteering for this organization. Well worth it. read more
