Second Helpings will have an information table at the Indy Pride Festival this year, and we'd love your help! You can help work our table to talk about Second Helpings with festival attendees and encourage everyone to join our fight against hunger.
This opportunity has two shifts: 11am - 1pm and 1pm - 4pm. We are looking for two volunteers per shift.
Did you know that an estimated 40,000 people attended the Pride Festival last year? This is a great opportunity to share Second Helpings with an audience of that size - to recruit volunteers, students, donors, and more. Moreover, there is a lot of data to show that members of the LGBTQIA+ community are disproportionately affected by food insecurity. In 2022, Feeding America found that this community is twice as likely as others to face hunger. Participating in the Pride Parade and Festival is an opportunity for us to publicly say that Second Helpings is a welcoming, inclusive environment. We hope you will consider joining us.
