“With the help of Second Chance Foods, I have been able to feed our family.
The deliveries have been amazing, delicious and nutritious.

Words cannot express the love and gratitude I have in my heart for your organization.”

Second Chance Foods'
Rescues More Food
Unlike other food rescue organizations, our dedicated volunteers and staff work with grocery stores and local farms to bring more fresh, healthy, and nourishing foods to those in need.
We also reduce food waste by cooking twice a week and preserving produce before it has a chance to spoil.
