VOLUNTEER

Our 368 active volunteers are our most valuable asset and we could not operate without them. They work in three primary areas, including Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, and Beaufort.

 

“I really feel fortunate that I have had the opportunity and ability to work for this great organization. It has been the most rewarding experience of any volunteer work that I have done over the years. The common thread that I find in the Second Helpings volunteers is their self-satisfaction of touching others with their efforts. They really don’t need someone to tell them, “job well done.” They feel it with every load they drop off. They are the most devoted bunch of men and women I know.”
-Richard Whitmore, Saturday Volunteer for more than 12 years

 

How would you like to help?

There are many ways that volunteers support our mission of providing food to neighbors in need and reducing food waste in our community. It only take one day a month, or more if your schedule allows. Generally, food rescue start their routes at 8 a.m. and finish around 1 p.m.

Food Rescue

Most of our volunteers help collect food from our local Food Donors and distribute it to our Agency Partners. We have opportunities in Bluffton, Beaufort and Hilton Head Island for Truck Drivers and Truck Helpers.  A commercial driver’s license is not required.

EVENTS

Volunteers plan and participate in local events to promote volunteering with Second Helpings, and raise community awareness in their neighborhoods and beyond.
