Canada’s largest food rescue organization and global thought leader on perishable food redistribution.
About us
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.

Today marks one year since the Wiiche’iwaymagon partnership was officially signed, marking a united effort to improve food access and security in northern and remote communities across Manitoba and Ontario. This Indigenous-led partnership brings together food banks, hunger relief organizations, tribal councils and Indigenous groups to tackle the complex challenges of food insecurity in the North — from disrupted traditional food systems to climate change to the high cost of store-bought food. Over the last year, Second Harvest has distributed over 100,000 pounds of food to northern communities through this partnership and we're committed to continuing this work for years to come. https://lnkd.in/gk4jqykq

At CI Financial, we’re not just about building financial futures—we’re about building stronger communities too. Recently, an incredible group of our employees volunteered with Second Harvest, sorting 7,500 lbs of surplus food to support Canadians facing food insecurity. This hands-on experience was a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we come together to give back. A heartfelt thank you to Second Harvest for the opportunity to contribute and to our amazing team for their passion, dedication, and generosity. #LifeAtCI #CIFinancial #Volunteering #SecondHarvest #CommunityImpact
