Second Helpings Atlanta, Inc.

Our Mission

Second Helpings Atlanta is a nonprofit food rescue organization seeking to reduce hunger and food waste in Metro Atlanta by rescuing surplus food and distributing it to those in need. We serve as a link uniting our food donors, partner agencies, and volunteers with a common goal of feeding our hungry neighbors.

Our Impact

Community is central to everything we do at Second Helpings Atlanta. Since 2004, we have built a dedicated network of businesses, nonprofits, and individuals who share our love of community and are working together to strengthen the web of food security for our neighbors. 

Second Helpings Atlanta is a partnership network uniting food donors that have surplus food to agencies with feeding programs. Our staff and volunteers are on the road 7 days a week to ensure nutritious surplus food is enjoyed rather than decomposing in a landfill. In 2022, SHA has rescued and delivered over 3 million pounds of fresh, healthy food to our partner agencies. Rescued food has provided over 2.5 million meals across Metro Atlanta.

Your Impact

Neighbors, we ask for your continued support this Giving Tuesday. With your generous donation, we will continue to deliver fresh food to meet the needs of thousands of people in our community every day. Together, we will Drive Out Hunger, One Mile at a Time.
