Address: 120 The East Mall
Toronto ON  M8Z 5V5

Organizational Description: 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.

Second Harvest is a national food rescue charity that is a separate organization and legal entity from Harvest Manitoba.
