Shania Twain joins second harvest in fighting hunger and food waste

By combining storytelling, community outreach and national advocacy initiatives, the Shania Twain Foundation and Second Harvest will work together to keep food where it belongs: on plates and out of landfills.

About the shania twain foundation

Since 2010, Shania Kids Can has provided localized programming within schools to help alleviate the negative effects of poverty and hunger that children face daily. Now as the Shania Twain Foundation, our goal is to reach more children and their families and to expand our work by partnering with other charitable organizations who are delivering similar programs and services. Our funding will continue to support food insecurity, youth empowerment and mental well-being.

Shania Twain Foundation is a Canadian registered Charity (charitable registration number 80435 4652 RR0001).

dONATE Funds or fOOD

We work with businesses from across the supply chain to redirect their unsold surplus food to non-profits and charities in every province and territory.

With a shared commitment to ensuring no one goes hungry in Canada, Shania Twain has joined us in our mission.

Did you know

  • Over 46% of all food in Canada is wasted every year
  • Almost 42% of that wasted food is edible — if rescued, it would be enough to feed 17 million people, three meals a day, for a year.
  • 10 million Canadians are food insecure, including 2.5 million children.
  • The annual value of food waste in Canada is $58 billion — enough to pay the yearly grocery bills of 3.7 million families!

Impact last year

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.

With the support of the Shania Twain Foundation, we’re looking forward to achieving even more together.
