Feed 191 families each week at the Second Helping in Anaheim

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 191 each week. Donations have dropped by about 56% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Anaheim market and keep every receipt. Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $3,250 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,000 • Refrigeration and electricity: $300 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,950 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Hang
