About
Last year we able to rescue and redistribute 87.1 million pounds of surplus food. That’s not just food saved from landfills — it’s healthy, perishable food delivered to people who need it the most, including those in the farthest reaches of Canada, from coast to coast to coast. From the cities to the rural North, our expanding reach has been staggering, reaching more than six million people and providing real, tangible support during a time when many are struggling.
