Second Harvest is Canada’s largest food rescue organization and is a global thought leader on perishable food redistribution. We work with thousands of food businesses from 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 from ending up in landfill and redirecting it to the charitable sector, our work prevents harmful greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere and improves access to nutrition for the millions of people in Canada experiencing food insecurity.
In addition to our core work of food rescue, Second Harvest produces research on food loss and waste, provides education and training for the charitable food sector and has developed the Second Harvest Food Rescue App to facilitate direct donations from food businesses to local non-profits across Canada.
In 2024 we rescued 87.1 million lbs of healthy perishable food and diverted it to more than 12,400 programs in charities and non-profits across Canada, averting over 288 million pounds of greenhouse gases.
Our vision: No Waste. No Hunger
Our mission is to keep food where it belongs: On plates and out of landfills.
