Second Harvest is the largest food rescue organization in Canada and a global thought-leader on food recovery.
Working across the supply chain – from farm to retail – Second Harvest capture surplus food before it ends up in landfill and has a negative environmental impact. Since 1985, Second Harvest has redirected more than 155 million pounds of food and prevented over 192 million pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents from entering our atmosphere.
The Sprott Foundation loves Second Harvest and their work to rescue healthy food for the benefit of those who need it.
Second Harvest is an innovative charity, constantly meeting needs, and improving access to food. Through their free online platform, FoodRescue.ca, they directly connect businesses with surplus, unsold food to local organizations. It’s a win-win model – food is saved and people are fed!
