Are you a food business with surplus food? Second Harvest rescues food from over 7,500 food donors
across Canada.
We are most grateful to receive donations from different companies through Second Harvest. This definitely increases our food distribution to the community.
There are two primary benefits. The first, of course, is that [rescued food] lowers our food costs. But the second I'd consider a better benefit — people eat better food. Everybody knows that fresh food is more expensive than dry goods and packaged foods. The majority of the food that we receive [from Second Harvest] is fresh and we get an opportunity to feed that to people here.
We love Second Harvest and the food rescue program. With the donations we receive, we are able to stretch our food budget as well as help out our children, youth and families who are struggling with food insecurity. It is amazing to be able to give them a little hand up throughout the month.
