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.
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.
As hunger has significant impact on an individual's physical, mental and cognitive well-being, to provide ample and nourishing food to our participants has greatly improved both our ability to support individuals and the overall atmosphere at Thrive. We are thoroughly grateful for this partnership for providing us with such an irreplaceable resource!
