Quick fridge check: where are you keeping your milk? 👀

The fridge door might be convenient, but it isn’t always the best place for dairy products. In Food Facts with Monica, we’re sharing a simple storage switch that can help your food stay fresh for longer.
Store it smarter. Waste less. 💚

Now that’s teamwork! 🏈💚

We teamed up with the Buffalo Bills and Project SHARE of Niagara Falls to assemble 100 holiday meals for families in the Niagara Falls community.

A big thank you to Joshua Palmer, our friend Billy the Buffalo, and everyone who helped pack a little extra care into Thanksgiving this year.

Before you put that freezer bag away, check one thing: how much air is inside? 👀

A small change in how you pack food can help prevent freezer burn and preserve its flavour and texture.

Another simple way to make the most of the food you already have.

Lots of fresh fruit sounds like a good thing. But when it can’t all be picked in time, perfectly good food may go to waste.

This summer, Andrew's Scenic Acres in Milton had more blueberries than their team could pick in time. Through Second Harvest's From the Farm program, volunteers stepped in to help harvest surplus berries that would otherwise have been left behind.

Between July and August, nearly 200 pounds of blueberries were rescued and delivered to local organizations, including The Roxy Centre and Georgetown Breadbasket, where they were shared with community members and used in meals and baked treats.

This is gleaning in action: rescuing fresh, local food, supporting farmers and helping communities access nutritious produce.

Together, we can keep good food where it belongs: on plates, not in landfills. 💚

Think you know your fridge? 👀

Where you store your fruits and vegetables can make a difference in how long they stay fresh. In your first Food Facts with Monica, we’re putting our fridge knowledge to the test.🍏🍅

Small changes in how we store food can help it last longer and keep more of it from going to waste.

A big thank you to La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso! 💚

When our trucks were targeted by theft, La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso quickly reached out, well before any public announcement, with a substantial gift of $60,000 to cover refrigerated truck rentals while our fleet is repaired. Their proactive support helped us keep disruption to a minimum and food reaching the communities who count on it.

We’re also grateful to everyone who has rallied around us. Generosity like this keeps good food out of landfill and on people’s tables.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, thieves broke into Second Harvest’s Toronto truck yard and cut through the exhaust systems of seven of our food rescue trucks to steal their catalytic converters, forcing them off the road. 💔

These aren't just trucks. They're a lifeline.

Every day, our fleet delivers rescued food to more than 300 non-profit organizations across Toronto, helping feed people facing hunger. Losing seven trucks is a devastating blow, putting critical food deliveries at risk. But the outpouring of support from our community has reminded us that we’re not in this alone. 💚

We won’t let this stop us, but we need your help. Your donation will help get our trucks back on the road, minimize disruptions and keep good food moving to the communities that depend on us.

Help turn this act of theft into an outpouring of generosity. 💚
