DONATE

FOOD RESCUE

Every $1 donated helps our volunteers rescue and distribute five pounds of food that might otherwise go to waste.

Your support helps cover the refrigerated trucks, fuel, maintenance, insurance, and other essential costs required to rescue food throughout the Lowcountry.

HELP PROVIDE FRESH, HEALTHY FOOD

Your gift helps Second Helpings purchase nutritious food to supplement donations and better meet the needs of local families.

Whenever possible, we purchase fresh produce from local farmers, helping fight hunger while supporting the Lowcountry’s local food economy.

KEEP OUR TRUCKS ON THE ROAD

Our refrigerated trucks travel more than 90,000 miles each year, rescuing food from grocery stores, retailers, farms, and other food donors and delivering it directly to our agency partners.

A gift of $1,000 can help fund one truck’s fuel, maintenance, and insurance for a month.

HELP PURCHASE A REFRIGERATED TRUCK

Reliable refrigerated trucks are essential to safely rescuing and transporting food across our three-county service area. As trucks wear out and community needs grow, your support helps us replace vehicles and expand food rescue into underserved areas.

WE MAKE EVERY DOLLAR COUNT

Including the value of rescued food, 98 cents of every dollar donated supports hunger-relief efforts. Second Helpings has earned Charity Navigator’s highest four-star rating and Candid’s highest Platinum Seal of Transparency.

Every gift helps rescue food, fight hunger, and deliver hope throughout the Lowcountry.
