From coast to coast to coast, Second Harvest and our network of donors, non-profits and volunteers are making a difference in the lives of people facing food insecurity and protecting the planet we call home.
Food is the centre of everything we do at Covenant House. It is the first thing we offer a youth when they come through our doors, and it’s what fuels our young people as they work hard for a brighter future.

Our partnership with Second Harvest has helped deliver hope, joy and nutrition to dozens of agencies and thousands of people. Second Harvest has provided valuable connections which enabled us to rescue and redistribute everything from 36,000 lbs of oranges to over one million pieces of chocolate! On behalf of the agencies we serve, we’re grateful to Second Harvest and their donors for bringing us opportunities to help feed our communities.
We have many families that have been renovicted, living in hotels with little children. It breaks my heart, but we’re able to give them some relief. Maybe they can even save a little for first and last month’s rent [with food support] and find somewhere new. Thanks to Second Harvest, we’re getting food to feed individuals, single parents and full families who are working two jobs.
We’re proud to support food rescue across Canada, rescuing food from coast to coast to coast, as we work towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
