Second Helpings
On average, every man, woman, and child in America throws away about a pound of food every day. That's about 27 percent of our available food supply-going right into the trash.
At Second Helpings, we rescue prepared and perishable food, re-prepare it into nutritious meals, and distribute those meals to over 50 social services organizations that feed hungry people. We also use some of the food we rescue to train disadvantaged adults for careers in the culinary field, helping to eliminate hunger at its source.
Since 1998, we have collected eight million pounds of food and provided nearly 3.3 million meals to recipient agencies. More than 300 adults have graduated from our Culinary Job Training Program.
