Rescued food from organizations like Second Harvest can be crucial for All Nations Hope Network. It helps ensure that families and individuals in need receive nutritious meals, particularly during high-demand periods like the holidays. This support alleviates food insecurity and helps the organization allocate resources more effectively.
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.
Rescued food, particularly from Second Harvest, is essential to our efforts throughout the year and becomes especially valuable during the holidays. Second Harvest provides us with non-perishable items, which helps stretch our resources further. With these donations covering basic staples, we’re able to allocate more of our budget toward fresh produce and proteins, allowing us to offer families a wider range of nutritious options.
