Second Helpings has experienced great demand for its services since opening its doors more than 10 years ago. Today, 1.9 million pounds of food is rescued annually. And more than 475 dedicated volunteers (15–20 daily) work in the production kitchen to prepare 2,900 meals a day that are distributed to 50-plus social service agencies, day care centers, and senior centers in the area. The economic impact to the Indianapolis community is huge: Second Helpings saves the agencies it serves more than $2 million annually in food preparation, kitchen, and distribution costs. And, rather than throw food away, the organization feeds many children and adults within greater Indianapolis. Based in the eugene and marilyn glick Center, Second Helpings uses a portion of its food inventory for a Culinary Job Training Program. In this program, the organization trains unemployed and underemployed adults to become culinary professionals through a free, intensive, 10-week job course. In addition to the culinary skills, the Culinary Job Training Program focuses on life skills that will help the participants become effective, valued employees within the food service industry. Over the years, Second Helpings has trained hundreds of adults with enviable placement and retention rates. Upon graduation, each of the graduates has choices, opportunities, and skills to be self sufficient and provide for themselves and their families. At this site session, you’ll hear from Cindy Hubert, chief executive officer of Second Helpings, about the value of the program from an economic and philanthropic point of view. You will have an opportunity to see how the entire process works—from how the food is received to how the meals are prepared. In addition, you will see the Culinary Job Training Program in action and meet several of its graduates and employers. Stephanie Powers, project director of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions at the Council on Foundations, will also be speaking. stop waste, eliminate Hunger, and empower People = second Helpings 9:45am–11:45am second helpings, inc. www.secondhelpings.org There is no disputing the strong link between the economic well-being of local communities and regions and quality of life for its residents. In the past decade, downtown Indianapolis has undergone a major economic revitalization, resulting in the emergence of innovative programs and organizations that address the needs of its community. One such organization is second Helpings, inc. Second Helpings, a community kitchen located in Indianapolis, was the vision of three local chefs—Kristen Cordoza, Bob Koch, and Jean Paison. Their dream was to reduce food wastage, feed the hungry, and train unemployed and underemployed adults in the food service industry. The Second Helpings model is centered on the three key components of its mission: taking food that would otherwise be thrown away, converting this food into nutritious meals for the hungry who live within the city, and training adults to improve their lives with the potential of being employed. 16 Family philanThropy ConFerenCe http://www.secondhelpings.org
