A world where food is valued, not wasted
We envision a future where everyone has access to nourishment, community, and dignity – and where no edible food goes to waste.
Our Mission
Second Helpings fights food insecurity in Stamford and surrounding areas by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it through our volunteer-run cafe, pantry, and community projects. We operate on a Pay-As-You-Feel basis to create an inclusive, safe space where everyone is welcome
Brand Story

With the help of local volunteers and suppliers, we rescue edible food that would otherwise go to waste and serve it through our Pay-As-You-Feel cafe, pantry, and community fridge. Every meal feeds bellies, builds connections, and reduces waste, proving that small acts of sharing can make a big difference.
