Second Helping

Second Helping is the perishable food rescue program of The Greater Boston Food Bank. It acts as the vital link between emergency meal programs and food service organizations eager to donate their surplus food to hunger-relief agencies in their communities. Our donors include restaurants, caterers, hotels, corporate cafeterias, and universities. Second Helping provides more than 320,000 meals a year thanks to the generosity of local businesses that partner with us to serve their communities.

Learn more about becoming a Second Helping donor in our new donor FAQ.
