The Second Harvest Food Rescue App makes it so easy to give back to the community. Our restaurants and their teams love participating in something so impactful. Thanks to Second Harvest for helping us on our mission to always do what is right for our communities, environment and staff.

Dartmouth Senior Citizens Service Centre

Second Harvest has been an invaluable resource when it comes to food insecurity in our area. [Through our partnership, we have the] impact of being able to provide nutrition to those who cannot feed themselves.

Toni Aquino

Moose Jaw & District Food Bank

Rescued food, particularly from Second Harvest, is essential to our efforts throughout the year and becomes especially valuable during the holidays. Second Harvest provides us with non-perishable items, which helps stretch our resources further. With these donations covering basic staples, we’re able to allocate more of our budget toward fresh produce and proteins, allowing us to offer families a wider range of nutritious options.
