Second Loaf, the Little Chapel on the Boardwalk Presbyterian Church food drive collection program, begins its 15th year. Second Loaf is a summer ministry that accepts donations of leftover food and other useful items from vacationers as well as residents of the Wrightsville Beach area and delivers the contributed items to the Good Shepherd Center for its soup kitchen.
The church accepts fresh, frozen, refrigerated and canned food, as well as nonfood items such as towels, detergent, paper products and clothing. Cash donations are used to purchase specific items requested by the soup kitchen manager.
Every Saturday morning from 8:30-11:30 a.m., volunteers from Little Chapel accept donations, however, items may be dropped off at the church anytime. Little Chapel also offers cold water for walkers and joggers, plus a water dish for dogs.
During the summer of 2014 more than 100 families dropped off food, nonfood, and cash for Second Loaf.
