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.

We are truly grateful for Second Harvest’s ongoing support of our community. In Kugluktuk, where food costs are among the highest in Canada and many families face significant financial hardship, the annual barge donation is critically important. Although the shipment supports us for a few months, during that time it allows us to directly assist our most vulnerable households — including elders, single-parent families and those experiencing food insecurity. The donation helps stabilize families who are struggling to meet their most basic daily needs and provides meaningful relief in a region where affordable food options are extremely limited. Support like this has a profound impact in the North. Your partnership not only helps feed people — it strengthens our community and ensures that those who are most vulnerable are not left behind. We are deeply thankful for this continued support.

Food is a basic requirement of life. The impact of this partnership with Second Harvest has been that we've been able to serve really high quality food on a large scale. For us, serving 1,500 meals a day would become extremely expensive as an organization to keep the caliber of food that we have. And the contribution allows the staff to get creative and make new meals.
