Fighting hunger from all angles.
Second Helpings fights hunger in Central Indiana from every angle. We rescue food that would otherwise be thrown away, prepare it, deliver it to local nonprofits for free, and train people for careers in the culinary industry. We deliver more than a million meals every year—many of them to kids and seniors. If you think that sounds pretty cool and you want to help out, stop by — we’re always looking for people to join the fight against hunger.
