Join Shania Twain in helping us rescue and redistribute surplus food across Canada!
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
Are you a food business with surplus food? Second Harvest rescues food from over 7,500 food donors
across Canada.
No waste, no hunger means continuing to grow our business sustainably while ensuring that our finished goods and the raw products that we use always sustain our communities and never become waste. Second Harvest supports our objective to continue to bring people together and unite them towards planet-friendly food.
We run our After School Program every day during the week. Most of our rescued food goes to this program to support the children and families. We run this program in a neighbourhood with a high risk of food insecurity. The children love this program and very much appreciate the extra food items they can enjoy and bring back to their families.
Many, if not most of, our members do experience food insecurity, so they look forward to ‘Grocery Thursdays.’ The healthy food items provided by Second Harvest are very much appreciated, as generally these are the most expensive and unaffordable, but to most of us are basic staples.
