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.
Your gift nourishes more than just our bodies — it strengthens the spirit of sharing and kinship that lies at the heart of who we are as Dakota people. In times of challenge and growth, gestures like yours remind us that we are not alone, and that good-hearted partnerships can help us walk forward in a good way. Pidámiyedo – thank you for standing with us. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated by our Nation.
Food is a basic requirement of life. The impact of this partnership with Second Harvest has been that we've been able to serve really high quality food on a large scale. For us, serving 1,500 meals a day would become extremely expensive as an organization to keep the caliber of food that we have. And the contribution allows the staff to get creative and make new meals.
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.
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).
