Rescuing and preparing healthy, delicious meals since 2001.
Harvest Kitchens takes our food rescue efforts to the next level. Working with businesses and non-profits, Harvest Kitchen teams create nutritious and delicious meals using rescued food.
Surplus food collection.
Each Harvest Kitchens partner gathers surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, to be used in meal production.
Meal preparation.
Working with staff and/or volunteers, the Harvest Kitchens team transforms that surplus food into nutritionally balanced meals.
Food distribution.
The meals are packed in oven-safe trays and labelled, then distributed to non-profit organizations in the community.
Join us and we'll cover the costs while you make the meals! Harvest Kitchens partners enjoy benefits like free safe food handler certification, promotion through our website and social media, workshop attendance, volunteer engagement opportunities, and more. Harvest Kitchens is a great way for your business to give back to the community and involve your staff. We'll help you create a tailored plan, train your team, and develop a production schedule based on your capacity.
JOIN USDuring the last 22 months, food insecurity has become more widespread due to the impact of the pandemic on marginalized communities. Second Harvest's continued efforts to provide prepared meals to those with limited access to nutrition through the Harvest Kitchen program has been critical during this time.
Second Harvest and the Harvest Kitchen program has an enormous impact on the very vulnerable part of the population. At MLSE we are proud to contribute to the Harvest Kitchen program. Harvest Kitchen is making our city a better place for all of our citizens, we are thrilled that we can help make a difference.
At 1 Hotel Toronto, partnering with Second Harvest is our way of giving back to the community. We want to give our team members the opportunity to help others and make a difference in the local community – and what better way than to provide fresh, mindful and healthy meals during the holiday season.
