Donate Surplus Food Through Second Harvest
Second Harvest works with thousands of food businesses across the supply chain to rescue and redistribute unsold, surplus food to over 4,400 non-profits and charitable organizations in Canada.
By donating surplus food, you’re not only feeding those in need but also reducing the environmental impact of food waste, improving employee engagement and meeting your corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. Every $1.00 donated to Second Harvest provides $5.45 in social, environmental and economic benefit to the community.
