Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step toward making a real difference in our community and helping eliminate hunger in the South Carolina Lowcountry.


Let’s get started!


Please click Sign Up in the top right-hand corner of this page to create your account. It’s quick and easy! As you complete your profile, be sure to tell us about your skills and interests so we can connect you with volunteer opportunities that are a great fit for you. If you have any questions or need help along the way, please reach out to Stephanie at execadmin@secondhelpingslc.org or 843-689-3689. She’ll be happy to assist you.


Before signing up for volunteer opportunities, you’ll be asked to sign our waiver and complete a brief virtual or in-person orientation. These steps are required, but they’re also a great way to learn more about our mission, our work, and the many ways you can get involved. A member of the Second Helpings team will contact you within three business days to schedule your orientation.


Once your profile is complete, we encourage you to explore the many ways to volunteer with Second Helpings. Whether you’re looking for a regular commitment or occasional opportunities, there’s a place for you here.


After your orientation, you’ll be ready to sign up for as few or as many opportunities as you’d like — whatever works best for your schedule.


When you volunteer with Second Helpings, you become part of something truly meaningful. In 2025, our 520 active volunteers helped our organization:

  • Distribute 3.7 million pounds of food free of charge
  • Provide more than 3 million meals
  • Purchase 605,000 pounds of healthy produce, proteins, and pantry staples
  • Support 57 food pantry partners serving more than 14,000 people each week

Every hour you give helps to bring hope, nourishment, and dignity to neighbors across the Lowcountry.


Let’s end hunger together!
