Shop
The frugally-minded with “discriminating taste” has an upscale shopping experience at the 2nd Helpings Shop which sells fabulous fashions, furnishings, collectibles and pet accessories. The purchase of a gently-used designer coat, unusual piece of depression glass or prized antique brings real joy twice at the 2nd Helpings Shop. First, a shopper is blessed when she discovers a rare treasure. A second blessing happens when that same shopper realizes her purchases helped someone who is homeless find their way home.
Gallery
The 2nd Helpings Gallery offers eclectic works of art from more than 100 talented, regional artists including photography, pottery, woodworking, drawings, sculpture, glass, jewelry, textiles and more. The purchase of original art from the gallery blesses the shopper in three ways: first, the beauty of the piece itself will enhance the office or home; second, the purchase of the art will encourage and support local artists; and finally, the purchase will provide funds for a homeless person to access the medical attention they need.
Monthly Artist Receptions
Receptions are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month, highlighting one (or more) of the artists currently displaying their work inside the Gallery. The events start at 1:00 p.m. and feature live music, refreshments, and an opportunity to meet the artists.
The next reception is Saturday, April 13th from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. The featured artist will be Painters of the Blue Ridge.
Café
The 2nd Helpings Café is a new place to eat breakfast and lunch as well as enjoy scrumptious desserts in the afternoon. The service is fast and friendly and the locally produced food is fresh and flavorful. The Café features some Roanoke favorites such as ice cream treats from Homestead Dairy, coffee and tea from H&C Coffee and bagels from the Roanoke Bagel Company, as well as meats and cheeses from Boar’s Head and specialty desserts baked on site daily. The Café serves tasty offerings Monday through Friday from 7am – 5pm and Saturday from 10am – 5pm. Dine in the attractive café or dine out on the Gallery Patio knowing that your purchase at the 2nd Helpings Café will help provide meals for the homeless at the Rescue Mission.
