Second Helpings
For more than 20 years, Second Helpings has operated a three-part approach to addressing hunger and poverty in Central Indiana. Each day, Second Helpings volunteers and staff rescue prepared and perishable food from wholesalers, retailers and restaurants – preventing unnecessary waste. That rescued food is used to create more than 4,000 hot, nutritious meals each day that are distributed to more than 90 social service agencies that feed Hoosiers in need. Second Helpings uses RLC Breadbox donations to create the main dish for Resurrection’s Community meal each Friday, which is served curbside in individual packaging during this time.
Pack Away Hunger
A non-profit organization dedicated to greatly improving the lives of children and others who suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Pack Away Hunger focuses meal distribution to communities where they can make the greatest impact. RLC has participated in many Nutri-Plenty meal packing events. Pack Away Hunger provides these meals locally through Midwest and Gleaners food banks as well as for the RLC Weekender bags for our Perry Township students. In response to COVID-19, this week alone Pack Away Hunger has delivered more than 100,000 meals to local organizations.
