Food Packing Event

Second Harvest is Canada's largest food rescue organization and is a global thought leader on perishable food redistribution. We partner with thousands of food businesses across the supply chain to redirect unsold surplus food to non-profit organizations that feed communities in every province and territory. By keeping perfectly edible food out of landfills and redirecting it to the charitable sector, we prevent harmful greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere and improve access to nutrition for the millions of people in Canada experiencing food insecurity.
