Morning Light’s relationship with Second Helpings is a perfect example of how community partnerships make our mission possible.
Each week, our team visits Second Helpings pantry to gather essential food and supplies for the home. This remarkable nonprofit works with companies across Indianapolis to rescue surplus goods and redirect them to organizations like ours. Because of their generosity and coordination, we’re able to keep operating costs down and ensure that every donation to Morning Light goes further.
We’re always looking for support for this important weekly trip. If you’d like to volunteer to join Carolina on Thursday mornings to help pick up and bring supplies back to Morning Light, we would love to hear from you. The commitment is about two hours each Thursday morning, and it makes a real, tangible difference in the lives of our residents.

At the heart of this effort is Carolina, our ama de la casa — ‘Mama of the house!’. Carolina is an expert cook who prepares dozens of individual meals every day, thoughtfully adapted to the tastes, needs, and dietary requirements of each resident whenever possible. Beyond the kitchen, she also helps care for the home and our residents with incredible dedication.
Recently, we were able to join Carolina on her weekly visit to Second Helpings, selecting the freshest and healthiest supplies for the week ahead. These trips are vital to the rhythm of our home — and they are only possible because of the partnership and kindness of our friends at Second Helpings.
Together, partnerships like this help keep Morning Light a place of nourishment, dignity, and care — in every sense of the word.
