Indianapolis Rotary Foundation Community Grant: Second Helpings
The Rotary Foundation of Indianapolis awarded a $25,000 Community Grant to Second Helpings this year. If you don’t know, Second Helpings is a non-profit organization that focuses on the power of food to change lives. They recover prepared/perishable foods and convert them into nutritious meals and then deliver those meals to over 60 social services organization that feed hungry people.
Second Helpings used the grant to purchase a new vehicle to deliver meals prepared in the Second Helpings kitchen to people all over the Indianapolis area. The new vehicle highlights the Rotary Club of Indianapolis (see below).
