The Second Harvest Food Rescue App makes it so easy to give back to the community. Our restaurants and their teams love participating in something so impactful. Thanks to Second Harvest for helping us on our mission to always do what is right for our communities, environment and staff.

Rescued food, particularly from Second Harvest, is essential to our efforts throughout the year and becomes especially valuable during the holidays. Second Harvest provides us with non-perishable items, which helps stretch our resources further. With these donations covering basic staples, we’re able to allocate more of our budget toward fresh produce and proteins, allowing us to offer families a wider range of nutritious options.

Rescued food from organizations like Second Harvest can be crucial for All Nations Hope Network. It helps ensure that families and individuals in need receive nutritious meals, particularly during high-demand periods like the holidays. This support alleviates food insecurity and helps the organization allocate resources more effectively.
