WHO WE ARE
Rescuing food is a simple idea with a powerful impact.
Second Harvest is Canada's largest food rescue organization. We work with food businesses across the supply chain to redirect good surplus food to non-profit organizations that feed communities.
Every rescued box helps make the food system more efficient, supports people facing food insecurity and keeps edible food out of landfills.
