HOUSTON — Second Servings of Houston (https://secondservingshouston.org/) is Houston's only prepared and perishable food rescue organization. Since 2015, they've been redirecting unserved and unsold food from retailers, sports venues, distributors, hotels and more to shelters, soup kitchens, low-income housing and many other nonprofits. Second serving says they've rescued over 12 million pounds of food, valued at more than $82 million, from over 400 donors and delivered it to over 140 local nonprofits since 2015.
As one of the fastest-growing nonprofits in Houston, Second Servings delivers food that helps nourish over 200,000 Houstonians in need each year. This summer, they plan to provide over 2,000 Houston families with their choice of fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs, sandwiches and more, which they rescue each morning from Kroger, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's and others.
