Ways to start fundraising
Birthday or Celebration
Share the love on your special day! Ask friends and family to donate to Second Harvest to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or other milestones.
Community Event
Bring your community together and support Second Harvest! Host a bake sale, craft market, yard sale — or go big with a street fair or carnival. Add games, raffles, or music to make it a full celebration. It’s a fun way to connect, showcase local talent, and raise funds to rescue food and feed communities in need.
Host a Potluck
Invite your friends, family or neighbours for a potluck-style meal where everyone brings a dish and makes a donation to support Second Harvest. Whether it’s a cozy dinner at home or a larger community get-together in a park or hall, potlucks are a warm way to share food, stories and purpose.
