How Second Harvest works with processors and manufacturers to transform food.

Second Harvest rescues surplus food from across the supply chain, recovering everything from large-scale surplus produce to raw ingredients — and everything in between.

Food processors and manufacturers can support food rescue and redistribution by:

  • Processing surplus produce;
  • Co-packing donated ingredients;
  • Helping stabilize surplus food through freezing, chopping or packaging; and
  • Converting raw ingredients into ready-to-use food products.

When you work with Second Harvest to help transform food, you will:

  • Join a network of industry leaders helping to shape the future of food;
  • Provide Canadians in need with food support;
  • Strengthen your ESG and sustainability reporting; and
  • Receive a gift-in-kind donation receipt.

Whether you have the capacity to turn raw ingredients into finished goods or a small freezer with space for surplus, our team will work with you in whatever way best fits your operations.
