Second Harvest

Second Harvest is Canada's largest food rescue charity, with a primary focus on environmental protection and hunger relief. They recover nutritious, unsold food from over 1,200 donors through direct delivery and their online platform, FoodRescue.ca. This food is then redistributed to a wide network of 1,080 social service organizations in Ontario and BC, including schools, seniors' centers, shelters, and food banks. In their 35-year history, Second Harvest has rescued over 155 million pounds of healthy food, preventing 192 million pounds of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. They work with food businesses across the supply chain to reduce food waste and divert surplus food to charities and non-profits. Every dollar donated to Second Harvest enables them to provide food for two meals.
