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.

Food that we receive through Second Harvest has a really significant impact on the community. Without it, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. It really is the backbone of our programs.
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.
Every week a team of staff, students and family members work together to sort, package and distribute 5,000 to 6,000 lbs. of produce and up to 2,000 lbs. of bakery products. We regularly hear how meaningful this support is at a time when food prices are putting an incredible strain on families. It is because of Second Harvest that we are able to make this difference for families in the Winnipeg School Division.
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).
