Second Harvest is Canada's largest food rescue charitable organization and expert in perishable food recovery, with a dual mission of environmental protection and hunger relief. They recover nutritious, unsold food before it becomes waste and distributes it to a broad network of 373 social service organizations. Their free, essential service helps nourish people through school programs, seniors' centres, shelters, food banks, and regional food hubs. In 34 years, Second Harvest has rescued over 140 million pounds of healthy food, preventing 128 million pounds of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.

Second Harvest organizes several special events each year, the largest of which are Toronto Taste and Second Harvest Hero each year to add to their fund-raising base.[1]

History and timeline

Second Harvest was founded in April 1985 in Toronto by Ina Andre and Joan Clayton.[2] Under the direction of Andre and Clayton, the organization began small and consisted of picking up waste food in a hatchback from restaurants and grocery stores and distributing it across the city.[3]

In 1994, the Ontario Legislature passed the “Donation of Food Act”[4] or Good Samaritan Legislation releasing those who donate food or distribute donated food from liability in the event that an individual is affected by the consumption of that food, provided that due diligence is exercised. This act enabled Second Harvest to accept donations from large food corporations, helping the organization to grow substantially.[5]

April 2015 — Second Harvest marked 30 years of delivering fresh, surplus food to Toronto's hungry.

July 2, 2018 — Lori Nikkel becomes the organization's chief executive officer, replacing Debra Lawson due to retirement.[6]

October 26, 2018 — Second Harvest launches FoodRescue.ca, a free tool for business to donate excess food, lessen environmental impacts, and nourish local communities.[7]

January 17, 2019 — Second Harvest releases [https://secondharvest.ca/research/ The Avoidable Crisis of Food Waste], a report co-authored [https://vcm-international.com/ Value Chain Management International], identifying approximately 30 root causes of food loss and waste.[8]
