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.

We LOVED the organic shiitake mushrooms form Holburne Family Farm. We will make beautiful "Bifinhos com cogumelos" which is steak with cream and mushrooms! It's one of our seniors' favourite recipes! Thank you so much!
Winnipeg School Division
Every week a team of staff, students and family members work together to sort, package and distribute 5,000 to 6,000 lbs. of produce and up to 2,000 lbs. of bakery products. We regularly hear how meaningful this support is at a time when food prices are putting an incredible strain on families. It is because of Second Harvest that we are able to make this difference for families in the Winnipeg School Division.
Our Children, Our Future
We run our After School Program every day during the week. Most of our rescued food goes to this program to support the children and families. We run this program in a neighbourhood with a high risk of food insecurity. The children love this program and very much appreciate the extra food items they can enjoy and bring back to their families.

Food is the centre of everything we do at Covenant House. It is the first thing we offer a youth when they come through our doors, and it’s what fuels our young people as they work hard for a brighter future.
Centre for Opportunity, Respect and Empowerment
During the last 22 months, food insecurity has become more widespread due to the impact of the pandemic on marginalized communities.

Rio celebrated her 9th birthday with an ECHOage skating party, raising $145. She donated half to Second Harvest, providing 145 meals, and is saving the rest for something big. Rio chose Second Harvest because she believes in supporting those who lack food. Thank you, Rio, for your generosity!
For her 8th birthday, Bronwyn celebrated at the Toronto Climbing Academy, raising $60 for Second Harvest, providing 120 meals. She used the rest of her birthday money to buy climbing gear. Bronwyn chose to support Second Harvest through an ECHOage party because she believes in helping those who are hungry. Thank you, Bronwyn, for your generosity! We’re thrilled to have you as a Food Rescue Ranger!
Cole has really made a commitment to helping people who don’t have enough food. Not only has Cole hosted two ECHOage parties and chosen Second Harvest as his charity, he’s also been involved in food drives at his school. For his 9th birthday party, Cole and his friends went trampolining and had a great time! His birthday present? A skateboard and helmet. Thank you, Cole, for being a two-time Food Rescue Ranger!
