- Description: The Second Helping is the primary local mission of First Congregational United Church of Christ. The Second Helping is a Sunday evening soup kitchen that is open to anyone who needs it. Guests are served a home-cooked dinner in the fellowship hall and are given a sack lunch with food for breakfast and lunch the next day. Much of the food comes from the Flint Hills Breadbasket, but the church also has a line item in the budget for the Second Helping. We serve dinner on every Sunday, including holidays. The average number of guests served is 25-30 each week. In a typical year, over 1300 meals are served to guests and 300 to workers.
