There are a countless people in Northwest Arkansas who are not able to adequately feed themselves. Second Helpings NWA was created to fill that need and is where old fashioned BBQ intersects with the community. One of its missions is of feeding those who may need a meal and cannot afford one. Filling this need has moved from serious to critical due to the COVID 19 crisis. So it is our mission to go to under-served areas and feed the people. The mission is simple, if you need to eat, Second Helpings NWA will feed you. If you want to donate, click the donation button on the Home page of Compassion Fayetteville.
