Of all food in Canada is wasted
Of this food could be redirected to support Canadians
Pounds of greenhouse gases created annually from wasted food — the same as 17.3 million cars
With your support, we can connect even more food to people in need across Canada.
Are you a food business with surplus food? Second Harvest rescues food from over 7,500 food donors
across Canada.
Since our partnership with Second Harvest, we've been able to rescue hundreds of thousands of pounds of food. The impact of the food that we recover is absolutely amazing. We have a lot more people having to turn to food banks that are simply not able to make ends meet at the end of the month ... And we want to always let those people know that we're not here to judge. We just want to make sure that you have what you need to be able to feed your families.

Second Harvest has contributed to our goals by allowing us to use our funds in different areas and on different projects. The money we save via our Second Harvest food donations has allowed us to purchase extra fruits and vegetables for our clients as well as keep our own garden growing. In addition, we have chosen to support our local school in their endeavours to supply "shelf-stable" meal kits to students to take home.
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.
