When Nate Walls was 6-years-old, he fell in love with cooking.

About 30 years ago, Nate Walls decided to move to Northwest Arkansas after serving in the army. Now, he is the founder of Second Helping NWA and owner of Secondhand Smoke NWA Barbecue. So far, Second Helping NWA has served about 8,000 meals. Walls said the organization began working with Wood Stone Craft Pizza on an annual toy drive about three years ago.
