Each year, Second Helpings prepares over 1.5 million nutritious meals for neighbors in need to more than 100 partner agencies. WISH-TV is proud to partner with Second Helpings for the second annual Gr8 Pasta Push, June 3 – June 17, 2021.
Pasta is always in demand as Second Helpings uses more than 1,100 pounds of pasta per week. This summer, Second Helpings needs even more pasta to feed the thousands of Hoosiers still economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
