Are you a food business with surplus food? Second Harvest rescues food from over 7,500 food donors
across Canada.
We at The Mustard Seed accommodate anywhere from 50-150 guests, 3 meals a day using these products. All of the food donations that we receive [from Second Harvest] are put directly into meals and sometimes used to bake treats for the guests. The Mustard Seed feeds and provides for community members facing homelessness and poverty. One guest in particular is always complimenting the variety and taste of our food
The food donations you have given us have really made and continue to make a difference to the families who visit us. It changed the lives of many.

Second Harvest has contributed to our goals by allowing us to use our funds in different areas and on different projects. The money we save via our Second Harvest food donations has allowed us to purchase extra fruits and vegetables for our clients as well as keep our own garden growing. In addition, we have chosen to support our local school in their endeavours to supply "shelf-stable" meal kits to students to take home.
