Second Helpings is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The nonprofit organization rescues food from wholesalers, retailers, and restaurants and uses it to create meals they distribute to 85 social service agencies in Central Indiana.
“Three local chefs began Second Helpings 20 years ago. Their first day, they served 66 meals. Now, we are sending out over 4,000 meals a day,” said Amber Jett, Corporate and Donor Relations Manager.
And they couldn’t do it without their army of volunteers, 600 to 700 strong.
“We have a volunteer shift every morning and every afternoon. And then Thursday evening and Saturday morning,” she said.
