become an agent of change


Inspire action to reduce food waste.

Looking to help grow the movement to fight hunger and end food waste? Become an agent of change by reaching out to your favorite food businesses, encouraging them to donate their surplus food to minimize waste. To help kickstart your efforts, we’ve prepared a letter for you to use below.

When reaching out to potential donors, consider establishments such as hotels, catering companies, and grocers. Second Servings can make the most impact with donations of produce, meat, dairy, perishable, and prepared foods. Please avoid approaching donut shops, cafes, and bakeries, as we often have an excess of baked goods.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact our Food Partnership Manager by sending an email to lisa@secondservingshouston.org.

Thank you for your commitment to improving access to food that would otherwise go to waste.
