No time like the present to get into the spirit of giving. Always scoping out ways to give back to the community, Tin Lizzy’s Cantina recently treated Second Helpings Atlanta to a sizable donation. Non-profit organization Second Helpings strives to eliminate hunger in the five-county metro Atlanta area by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to those in need. In its dedication to ending hunger in the Atlanta area, Tin Lizzy’s delivered a total of $40,000 worth of food to be distributed to those in need by eight Second Helpings partner agencies. Holy guacamole, that’s a lot of food! Zoom over to Sandy Springs for Second Helping’s Taste of the Trucks event with a kid zone, private VIP area, music, artist market and you guessed it, food trucks! Roll into the family fun from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. General admission tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door and VIP is $50. Want to help? Volunteers and donations are always needed.
