Introducing the Tilt Skillet Gun Show. 💪😄
Hunger Relief Chefs Chessie and Maggie stir hundreds of pounds of ingredients daily in our industrial tilt skillets — feeding thousands of Central Indiana neighbors in the process.
The muscles are a bonus.

The checkered flag flew Sunday. Our food rescue team was already at the track collecting donations. 🏁
Now our volunteers are turning that food into meals for neighbors across Central Indiana.
The race ends. The mission doesn't. #SecondHelpings #Indy500 #HungerRelief

$18,000,000 saved for 200+ community partners last year.
The need is that great. So is our commitment to meeting it.
We bring the food. They change lives.

20 years ago Kim Kiser came to Second Helpings as a volunteer.
Then 8.5 years in our Hunger Relief kitchen.
Then our development team.
Today — a 20th anniversary worth celebrating. 🎉
Thank you, Kim. 💚

Want to see where 5+ million pounds of rescued food becomes meals for your neighbors? We give group tours — companies, orgs, civic groups, you name it. Come see what fighting hunger actually looks like. 🥗

Not every partner can reheat a meal. So we bring the food to them in a form they can actually use. Today's kitchen work: rows of fresh salads, ready to serve. This is hunger relief that fits real life. 🥗 #SecondHelpings #FightHunger

[Second Helpings @SecondHelpings]

Between every volunteer shift, our kitchen gets wiped down and set up for the next group. This is that moment — the quiet before 5,500 more meals get made.
Come be part of what happens next. https://t.co/KsKn8BoCHG

Yesterday @Humana sponsored a full Day of Meals AND sent a crew of volunteers to help make them. That's fighting hunger from all angles. 💚 Thank you — Central Indiana is better because of you. #SecondHelpings #DayOfMeals

Fresh tomatoes. A clear set of instructions. Volunteers who show up and do it right. 🍅 This is what care looks like at scale inside our hunger relief kitchen. #SecondHelpings #FightHunger #Indianapolis

Sandwich room: packed. 🥪 Produce stations: full. 🥦 Volunteers: absolutely incredible. This is just a regular day at Second Helpings — and we are so grateful. Come join us → https://t.co/ZuXbIfu5Wp #FeedIndy #SecondHelpings #VolunteerIndy

We're hiring a CEO. 🙌 Know a bold, mission-driven leader who wants to fight hunger from every angle in Central Indiana? We want to hear from them. https://t.co/wWnpD9Db2R #NowHiring #NonprofitLeadership #SecondHelpings

Bob Koch is one of Second Helpings’ 3 original founders — and he still volunteers with us today.

He’s also, apparently, on a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese. 🧀

A legend in every sense.

Thank you to the Colts and their food service partner for donating professional chef knives to Second Helpings. 💚

These are the same kinds of knives our Culinary Job Training students use as they prepare for careers in the culinary industry.

We’re grateful for your support!

[Second Helpings @SecondHelpings]

Each pan serves about 25 people. After filling, it’s cooled quickly for food safety, then volunteers wrap and label it for delivery.
This behind-the-scenes step may not be flashy, but it matters. These pans go out early tomorrow morning. 💚

[Second Helpings @SecondHelpings]

Not every mission moment is glamorous.

Sometimes it’s onions, a cutting board, and the steady work behind every meal. 🧅

Every chop helps turn ingredients into meals for our neighbors.

That’s fighting hunger from all angles. #SecondHelpings

POV: today’s sandwiches are heading out one by one 🥪

These are just some of the 1,500 sandwiches we’ll make today to go out into the community. A lot of work, a lot of care, and a lot of meals in motion. 💚
