When we come together, we can get more good food to more people.
This Hunger Action Month, donations can go twice as far — every $1 helps rescue enough food for 10 meals.
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 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!
We have many families that have been renovicted, living in hotels with little children. It breaks my heart, but we’re able to give them some relief. Maybe they can even save a little for first and last month’s rent [with food support] and find somewhere new. Thanks to Second Harvest, we’re getting food to feed individuals, single parents and full families who are working two jobs.
