Here at Second Helpings, there are hundreds of volunteers who work daily in many different areas in the organization. Without them and other supporters, Second Helpings could not do what it does. Below are listed our volunteering opportunities – if you are a current volunteer, where do you work and what’s your favorite part about it? If you support Second Helpings in other ways, where would you volunteer if you could? Comment below the post or on social media with your favorite role and why you chose it!
