GR8 Pasta Push benefiting Second Helpings

Join Second Helpings and WISH-TV 8 for a community-wide pasta and fund drive to Feed Indy, June 4-18. Since they started the Gr8 Pasta Push, they’ve collected more than 45,000 pounds of pasta, which has provided more than 840,000 meals. This year they hope to pass 50,000 pounds and 1,000,000 meals! The first Gr8 Pasta Push was in November 2020, partially born out the basic needs exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. That need hasn’t gone away, and so the Gr8 Pasta Push continues.

WHY PASTA?
Second Helpings relies on pasta drives like yours to bring much needed non-perishable items to our Hunger Relief kitchen. Pasta doesn’t tend to get donated through our regular sources – the shelf life is so long that wholesalers and grocery stores don’t need to move it along as quickly. Plus, Second Helpings uses those items in large quantities – on average, Second Helpings uses about 1,000 pounds of pasta per week, so the items you collect will be put right to use feeding Indy!
