Combining Food Rescue and Social Enterprise
Second Harvest's food processing facility is creating new ways to keep good food on plates and out of landfills.
Located within our warehouse in Etobicoke, ON, the facility brings together social enterprise, food rescue and Canadian agriculture under one roof.
A Social Enterprise
As a social enterprise, the food processing facility will purchase produce from local farmers and producers and transform it into healthy, affordable snacks for school food programs.
How this works:
- Support: Purchase produce from local farmers and producers.
- Produce: Transform Canadian-grown fruits and vegetables into nutritious products for school food programs.
- Feed: Provide students with healthy, affordable food.
- Reinvest: Revenue from the social enterprise is reinvested into Second Harvest’s charitable mission, helping expand food rescue and food access.
