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.

Our Recipe for Food Rescue

Collect

Food should be eaten

Thats why, every day of the week, our volunteers collect donations of healthy food from grocery stores instead of letting this usable food go to waste.

Harvest

Fresh & Local

The Hudson Valley is rich with organic farms who are often unable to harvest all the food from their fields. Second Chance Foods' volunteers make sure this produce is harvested and reaches the tables of those in need.

Cook

Healthy & Delicious

Our volunteers transform donated food into nourishing meals that are also delicious. The kitchen helps extend the life of fresh ingredients, and make healthy eating easy!

Nourish

Eat Well to Feel Great!

Fresh foods are vital to emotional and physical health. That’s why we focus on providing nutrient dense foods to those in need of food assistance.
