WHO IS SECOND HELPINGS?:
Second Helpings is a food rescue, job training, and hunger relief program serving greater Indianapolis. Together with our partners in the food service industry, we rescue and utilize surplus prepared food to educate and train adults for positions in the culinary field and to distribute nutritious meals to programs serving our neighbors in need.

Food Rescue. Americans throw away 27% of all food available in the United States, one pound every day for every man woman and child living in this country. Second Helpings exists to make use of what was once a wasted resource. Together with our partners in the food service industry, we put this resource to work, and make a difference in our community.

Job Training. A portion of the rescued food is utilized as a training tool for adults who are unemployed, under-employed, and seeking a position in the culinary field. A full-time culinary instructor and numerous volunteer chefs and human resources professionals equip the students with valuable job skills. Graduates from the job training program accept higher-paying skilled positions in the food service industry around Indianapolis.

Hunger Relief. Many programs serving our neighbors in need struggle to provide nutritious food. Often times, they lack the funds, equipment, and staff to provide quality meals. Second Helpings provides high-quality, nutritious meals at no cost to programs serving our neighbors in need.

In the Fountain Square Area, Second Helpings delivers meals to:
-Compassion Center
-Holy Family Shelter
-Progress House

Financial Support. Tonic Ball/Tonic Gallery is a major fundraising event for one of the city’s most innovative organizations...doing some of the most important charitable work imaginable. Any donations you can make to this cause will be greatly appreciated.
