Ways to Fundraise

Whether you’re fundraising on your own, with a school, workplace or community group, there are lots of fun ways to generate support for food rescue.

Company Fundraising

Bring your coworkers together for a great cause! Host friendly challenges, creative social events or an internal auction with office perks, like extra time off.

School Fundraising

Try themed or dress-up days, group walks, classroom competitions or creative projects. Share progress in newsletters, assemblies or online to rally your school community.

Host your Own Fundraiser

Take the lead and make it your own! Organize a creative gathering or host a virtual trivia night. Small challenges — like asking friends and family to sponsor a step goal — can make a big difference.

About Second Harvest

Second Harvest is Canada’s largest food rescue organization. Our mission is to keep food where it belongs: on plates and out of landfills.

We rescue unsold surplus food from thousands of food businesses across the supply chain and redistribute it to non-profits in every province and territory. This work prevents harmful greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere while improving access to nutrition for millions of Canadians experiencing food insecurity.
