'provide extra food' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'assisting after a short time' is the wordplay.
'assisting' becomes 'helping' ('help' can be a synonym of 'assist').
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a short time' becomes 'second' (second is a kind of short time).
'helping' put after 'second' is 'SECOND HELPING'.

'to' is the link.
