As millions of households struggle to put food on the table, we cannot afford to keep throwing good food away. Make food waste reduction a core part of Canada’s National Food Security Strategy.
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.
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.
Second Harvest has been essential in connecting us to local grocery stores. These grocery stores have allowed us to include bread and baked goods as well as some non-perishable items consistently to the people and families in need that we serve. We are very grateful for this program.
