Donate | Second Harvest

Every $1 donation provides 5 meals.

Every dollar helps rescue healthy, surplus food and deliver it to people who need it most.

At Second Harvest, we recover good food before it goes to
waste—feeding communities and protecting the planet.

Your donation = real food, real impact.

Community Food Resource Network

Second Harvest has contributed to our goals by allowing us to use our funds in different areas and on different projects. The money we save via our Second Harvest food donations has allowed us to purchase extra fruits and vegetables for our clients as well as keep our own garden growing. In addition, we have chosen to support our local school in their endeavours to supply "shelf-stable" meal kits to students to take home.

Tłı̨chǫ Łeàgı̨ą Tsʾı̨ı̨lı̨ Kǫ (Tłįchǫ Friendship Centre)

The collaborative efforts with the Tłı̨chǫ Government and Second Harvest helped us fulfill our goal of serving residents in the Behchoko community and address the urgent needs of our food security program. Over two days, we distributed about 90 hampers of essential goods and food items such as milk, bread, eggs and meat to the most vulnerable members of our community. Individuals and families came to receive the donated food and expressed their thanks to Second Harvest and the organization involved.
