Court Ordered Community Service

Thank you for considering Second Helpings to complete your mandated service hours. We believe in second chances and the power of giving back — your time and effort truly make a difference in our mission to fight hunger and food waste in Central Indiana.

As a volunteer in our Court-Ordered Community Service program, you’ll be part of a team that helps nourish our community. Depending on the needs of the day, you may assist with tasks like:

  • Chopping produce in our Hunger Relief Kitchen
  • Making sandwiches in our Cold Station
  • Folding aprons or helping with Maintenance

Each day may bring something different, but every task supports our mission.

  • Domestic violence
  • Deadly weapons
  • Battery
