A Second Helping
What is it? A Second Helping is a program to collect canned goods and all other food items, perishable and non-perishable, from vacationers as they leave Holden Beach, NC. These items are distributed to the needy of Brunswick County through one of the local churches.
When? The 2012 collections will be held each Saturday morning from 7 A.M. until noon, beginning June 16, 2012, and ending Labor Day weekend.
Where? Our very convenient drop site is in the Holden Beach Chapel parking lot on Ocean Boulevard.
To those of you who contributed in the past, we thank you very much and look forward to seeing you in 2012. Your compassion is very much appreciated and was put to good use in helping to feed the hungry in this area
2011

were 21,342 lbs.
Our
collections
now total more
than 75,000 lbs. since the program began in July
of 2005.
Good news! “A Second Helping” food program has spread to two other beaches and, hopefully, will continue to expand.
Cash donations
gratefully
accepted. For each dollar received, we can buy
approximately 5 lbs. of
food.
100% of these donations are used to buy more food.
