Connecting Healthy Food to Hungry People in Need

CARMEL, NY   |  secondchancefoods.org

Mission

We are a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing unsold, un-served, and aesthetically imperfect food and distributing it in an effort to reduce food waste and food insecurity. We collect food from farms, grocery stores, restaurants and other purveyors in the Hudson Valley Region and distribute it directly to community outreach organizations that provide meals to people who need food the most. We also provide programs to raise awareness about food waste, nutrition, and sustainability on a local and global level.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Farm to Food Pantry

We recover local farm produce and bring it into our licensed, commercial kitchen where we cook it into soups, sauces, salsas, pesto etc. This food is distributed by food pantries and soup kitchens in the lower Hudson Valley.

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people

We collect food from grocers that is near its sell by date, aesthetically imperfect or excess stock and redistribute it to soup kitchens, homeless shelters and food pantries so that the food can get to people who need it the most. This also diverts waste from the landfill and benefits the environment.
