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.
Thank you for your support of the northern food banks. These donations reached many homes throughout Northern B.C. Our food bank guests were so appreciative of the healthy protein and fruit provided by the donation.
Since our partnership with Second Harvest, we've been able to rescue hundreds of thousands of pounds of food. The impact of the food that we recover is absolutely amazing. We have a lot more people having to turn to food banks that are simply not able to make ends meet at the end of the month ... And we want to always let those people know that we're not here to judge. We just want to make sure that you have what you need to be able to feed your families.
The collaborative efforts with the Tłı̨chǫ Government and Second Harvest helped us fulfill our goal of serving residents in the Behchoko community and address the urgent needs of our food security program. Over two days, we distributed about 90 hampers of essential goods and food items such as milk, bread, eggs and meat to the most vulnerable members of our community. Individuals and families came to receive the donated food and expressed their thanks to Second Harvest and the organization involved.
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).
