Our training and education programs

Second Harvest supports communities through training, education, certification, and best-practice workshops. Our training and education programs are available to our non-profit network, our donor network and the public and are built on these three areas of learning:

Food Waste Prevention

Our food waste prevention workshops teach you how to reduce food waste to protect the environment and feed people instead of landfills.

Food Safety

Our food safety training provides the tools that non-profits need to safely rescue and maximize surplus food in their community. 

Food Literacy and Nutrition

Our food literacy and nutrition training improves your understanding of food and its healthy preparation.

Our goal is to support our food rescue efforts across Canada by improving practices for non-profits and businesses alike. We are also proud to offer training to the public, so everyone can join the food rescue revolution!
