Highly Skilled At Helping
Today my brothers and I went to Second Helpings with our mom. We helped the chef by opening boxes and prepping for the meal that they will prepare in the morning.
The first thing we did when we got there was…
How does Second Helpings Work?
Giving Back
October 31, 2024 – Helping Ninja, the Silberstien family, helped to offset waste to the landfills by collecting pumpkins in Hamilton County to be composted. According to the USDA, last year 2 billion pounds of pumpkins were grown in the United States. Approximately 85% of pumpkins are grown for carving and decorating, which creates a lot of waste.
It’s that time of year, you buy a pumpkin, grab a knife and begin your masterpiece. But what happens when your jack-o-lantern turns from spooky decoration to soggy decomposition? Every year pumpkins are the produce to pick during the Halloween season.
Agriculture accounts for 10% of the United States’ greenhouse gas emissions, so what can you do with your pumpkin? Compost them!

Second Helpings rescues food that would otherwise be thrown away, prepare it, deliver it to local nonprofits for free, and train people for careers in the culinary industry. They deliver more than a million meals every year—many of them to kids and seniors. Second Helpings fights hunger in Central Indiana from every angle.
Since 2018, Helping Ninjas youth and families have been volunteering their time to help at Second Helpings and help to “feed Indy.” In fact, one of our Helping Ninjas’ Skyler, was the youngest person to ever volunteer at Second Helpings at age 4.
On August 27th, our founder, Leo Berry and his two brothers, Sawyer and Skyler Berry volunteered at Second Helpings. They helped to prepare pasta for the Second Helpings Chef. They were able to help feed over 600 families by preparing 200 lbs of pasta!
