🍽️ September is Hunger Action Month, and we’re turning the spotlight on a vital issue: fighting food waste. Tackling hunger isn’t just about filling empty stomachs; it’s also about ensuring good food doesn’t end up in landfills. This month, TUMS is stepping up to the plate by matching donations to Second Harvest up to $75,000! That means every $10 you donate will have a $20 impact. This helps Second Harvest combat food waste and redirect healthy surplus food to non-profits across Canada, making sure it reaches those who need it most. 🍎🥦 Make an impact today at the link below! https://lnkd.in/g3cUqaKF

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 2023 we rescued 74.4 million lbs of healthy perishable food and diverted it to more than 14,000 programs in charities and non-profits across Canada, averting over 241 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.

A few weeks ago, MaRSians volunteered at Second Harvest Food Bank in Toronto to help with a food sorting event at their warehouse! We had a blast bagging, weighing, and racing against the clock to clear our pallet of potatoes to help those in need across the nation. After about 2 hours, MaRSians prepared 639 bags of potatoes - that’s 3,195 lbs of potatoes going to communities across the country! 🥔 We’re proud of our team’s efforts and grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in our community through this rewarding volunteer experience.
