Second Helpings is a nonprofit organization based in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It operates as a 501(c)(3) agency dedicated to combating food insecurity in the local community. With a team of 340 volunteers and one full-time staff member, Second Helpings manages nine refrigerated trucks to efficiently transport rescued food. The organization's primary mission is to rescue surplus food from various sources, including major grocery stores, and deliver it to over 57 food pantries located in Beaufort, Jasper, and Hampton counties. This dedicated effort provides the equivalent of 48,000 meals weekly to individuals and families in need. Second Helpings distinguishes itself through its commitment to preventing food waste. By partnering with grocery stores and other food donors, they intercept edible food that would otherwise be discarded, ensuring it reaches those who need it most.
