From coast to coast to coast, Second Harvest and our network of donors, non-profits and volunteers are making a difference in the lives of people facing food insecurity and protecting the planet we call home.
Through Second Harvest, we've actually been able to acquire really strong donations on a weekly basis. Without those donations, we would not be able to do what we're doing ... We know that whenever we get food it is going to go to people in need and that's what we try and do here at Parker Street: give the best we can to the people who need it the most.
Through Second Harvest, you get a lot of fresh produce. We have been able to get lots of baby formula, which is really important. Baby food as well. We're getting a lot of snack foods because some of the moms who are here also have children who would be in school ... They can come here and they don't have to go home with empty shelves. The impact is fantastic and we're really thankful for Second Harvest.
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’re proud to support food rescue across Canada, rescuing food from coast to coast to coast, as we work towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
