Today's view from the Second Helpings kitchen: a VERY big batch of cheese sauce. ๐ง๐
Maggie + one of our volunteers + a tilt skillet were hard at work making something delicious for our neighbors.
We definitely don't cook in small batches around here! ๐

Sometimes a meal is more than a meal. ๐
Our partners at The Salvation Army Fountain Square shared how our meals provide nourishment for children who arrive hungry โ and give seniors a chance to gather around the table for food, fellowship & friendship.
That's why we cook. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐

Never underestimate a PB&J. ๐ฅ๐๐
We now make 2,000+ sandwiches every day because theyโre an easy, protein-packed option our community partners can serve without reheating.
Simple? Yes. Small impact? Not even close.
Thatโs a LOT of peanut butter fighting hunger. ๐
