We rescue and redistribute so much good surplus food in communities across Canada.
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.

We LOVED the organic shiitake mushrooms form Holburne Family Farm. We will make beautiful "Bifinhos com cogumelos" which is steak with cream and mushrooms! It's one of our seniors' favourite recipes! Thank you so much!
Winnipeg School Division
Every week a team of staff, students and family members work together to sort, package and distribute 5,000 to 6,000 lbs. of produce and up to 2,000 lbs. of bakery products. We regularly hear how meaningful this support is at a time when food prices are putting an incredible strain on families. It is because of Second Harvest that we are able to make this difference for families in the Winnipeg School Division.
Our Children, Our Future
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.
