INDIANAPOLIS – On Tuesday, October 16, the Indianapolis Colts visited the Culinary Job Training kitchen at Second Helpings, Inc. to help prepare food with students of the program. The visit was a part of the seventh "Colts Community Tuesday" of the 2012 season.
Colts TE Dwayne Allen, OLB Jerry Hughes and LS Matt Overton began the visit with a brief tour of the facility. After learning about the culinary job training program and the 3,000-plus meals served by Second Helpings each day, the players were excited to assist 10 students from Class #69 in prepping for the next day's restaurant service. Second Helpings Chef Sam Brown extended honorary chef hats to the players as they received their assignments for the morning. Hughes tackled the grill with marinated chicken breast, while Allen and Overton collaborated to make tasty strawberry shortcake desserts!
In 2012, Second Helpings, central Indiana's hunger relief program and culinary job training organization, collected their 16 millionth pound of food and delivered their 6 millionth meal to partner agencies. Nearly 500 adults have graduated from the organization's Culinary Job Training Program.
In addition to the Colts commitment to promoting nutritious meals through initiatives such as the NFL Fuel Up to PLAY 60 program, the visit to Second Helpings also coincided with World Food Day. Established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 1979, the global movement of World Food Day highlights agricultural cooperatives and the international mission to reduce poverty and hunger.
