Second Helping
MISSION STATEMENT

Knowing that sometimes in life people get off course, we in the hospitality industry know that every now and then you need a second helping to get you back on course.

Second Helping is a program that serves to help those recovering from opioid addictions reenter the workforce while helping to fill much-needed job positions within the tourism, travel, and hospitality industry of Alabama’s Appalachia Region.

The Second Helping program name evolved from a common seminar within the industry, “Four Courses of Hospitality Training,” which outlines the basic needs of service in our industry based on a four-course meal theme: appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert.

As with any good meal, there is always room for a second helping.

TESTIMONIALS

“When I knew I could work in a safe environment and had people around me who believed in me, each day got a little better… I come to work doing what I love every single day… I’m always reassured that I’m not my past and its okay be to who I am.”
