I am partnering with Farm Rich to support a local charity. I received an honorarium for my participation. All opinions are 100% mine.
Our family is very fortunate. We have a house over our heads, healthcare, clothing and plenty of food to eat. Sometimes I worry that my kids take it for granted. This holiday season I am taking the time to teach my small children that sometimes people aren’t as fortunate and we should give back to our communities and help whenever we can.
This is why we are partnering with Farm Rich to support a local organization called Second Helpings, and help provide meals to those who may need one.
Second Helpings is transforming lives through the power of food. This organization rescues prepared and perishable food and then their chefs prepare it into nutritious meals. These meals are then distributed to over 80 social services organizations throughout the Indianapolis area that feed hungry people. Not only that they also train disadvantaged adults for careers in the culinary field while they collect the food!
Since its founding in 1998, Second Helpings has recovered 25 million pounds of food and delivered nearly 10 million meals to serve children and families in need. Over 600 adults have graduated from their Culinary Job Training Program.
Farm Rich is a company my family loves. They offer easy, wholesome, feel-good foods for busy parents who want to raise good kids and have happy families. Through #HolidayHungerNoMore, together we’re helping to provide more families and individuals in Indianapolis with wholesome meals that will bring a smile to their faces this holiday season.
Here is how you can help!
The amazing people at Farm Rich will donate $5 to Second Helpings for every photo or message sharing how you and your family give back during the holidays on social media or in the comments of this post (using the hashtag #HolidayHungerNoMore). You just need to post by 12/31 with the hashtag #HolidayHungerNoMore for your gift to count!
Please help me spread the word by retweeting:

Robin Masshole Mommy says
It’s such a good feeling to give back – especially this time of year. I try to give back as much as possible.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
That is so wonderful. No one should ever go hungry, but I think that’s especially true around the holidays. What a horrible time to have an empty belly!
Jeanette says
Giving back is one of THE most important things you can teach the your children! We are always trying to find ways to give back. I love this idea and we will need to do this!

This is a really, really great program. Love to see these kinds of things going on and shared with everyone! I definitely want to raise my family on giving back during this time of the year.
Cathi Crismon says
This is so awesome Kathy. I love companies that give back. We all find ourselves in circumstances that we neither want or expect. After my first husband of 21 years walked out, my youngest son and I struggled big time to make ends meet. The last priority was food. Our close friends knew if we showed up at their house at dinner time, we were hungry. They never asked, they simply set two more places at the table. May we all reach out and help those in need this holiday season.
Ann Bacciaglia says
Second Helpings sounds like a great organization. We like to help out at the local food bank as often as we can.

I have cleaned out the basement and will continue to do so after the holiday. We donate a bunch of it to a woman’s shelter. We also donate to the Humane Society in the kids’ names.
