Second Serving of Houston

Second Serving of Houston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing food waste and alleviating hunger in the Houston area. By rescuing surplus food from local grocery stores, restaurants, and food distributors, the organization redistributes it to community partners, shelters, and food pantries serving those in need. Through its efforts, Second Serving of Houston helps combat food insecurity while promoting sustainability by diverting edible food from landfills. Contemporary efforts of the organization include the creation of “PopUp Grocery Stores” designed to provide low-income Houstonians with access to nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste.
