Yesterday, our team wrapped up an incredible year with a day of giving back and an evening of holiday celebrations. 🎄 We began the day volunteering with Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food rescue organization, at their facility in Etobicoke, Ontario. We assisted with sorting food donations, supporting the organization’s mission of providing fresh, healthy meals to those in need and keeping food out of landfills. The initiative, organized by our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee, brought together 20 employees who worked diligently, sorting and packing an AMAZING 840 pounds of potatoes and labeling 7077 pounds of canned tomatoes! In addition to volunteering, Peak Power contributed a $2,500 donation to help sustain Second Harvest’s vital operations, ensuring even more families have access to nutritious meals during the holiday season. This donation and volunteer event provided 7,575 meals and averted 25,644 pounds of GHGs from the atmosphere! Second Harvest has been a leader in food rescue since 1985, bridging the gap between food waste and hunger. By rescuing unsold surplus food and redistributing it to organizations that support vulnerable populations, Second Harvest not only provides essential meals but also helps reduce the environmental impact of food waste.
