Imagine a future where no parents will have to choose between paying rent and feeding their children.
No seniors will be forced to skip medication just to afford groceries.
No students will have to go to school on an empty stomach.
When you include a gift for us in your will, or name Second Harvest as a beneficiary, you're writing the next chapter of your story, one about believing no good food should go to waste while people go hungry.
Your legacy gift will keep that story alive: keeping food on plates and protecting the planet for generations you'll never meet, but whose lives you'll touch.
A legacy gift reflects what matters most to you and it is yours to shape. We promise to honour your wishes and handle all information with respect, privacy and confidentiality.
Living near a community where many struggled with food insecurity and housing challenges, Edward (Ted) George O’Meara, a teacher born in Ottawa and later making Toronto his home, was moved to support Second Harvest. His gift is a reflection of his lifelong commitment to helping others and ensuring that everyone has access to basic needs like food and shelter.
Gianluca Primucci was a food connoisseur and a dedicated art teacher. His legacy continues through the Primucci family’s support of Second Harvest’s Feeding Our Future program, where lunches are delivered to camps across the GTA, helping ensure that young people have access to the nourishment they need to learn, grow and discover themselves. It reflects the same values Gianluca lived by, care that is consistent, thoughtful and quietly impactful.
“It’s a privilege for me to ensure the story of your values will live on, bringing good food to people who need it and inspiring a more sustainable future for generations to come.”
