Mission
Vision
To help feed hungry people by picking up and preparing excess fresh
food and delivering it daily to social service agencies in Toronto.
That no one need ever go hungry in the communities we serve.
April 19th, 1985 Second Harvest Food Support Committee incorporated as a registered charity in Toronto.
Fresh, donated food delivered to Toronto’s hungry
within 48 hours.

Second Harvest

After twenty-five years of providing service to the city of Toronto, it’s important that we
express our appreciation to all the financial and food donors, and volunteers who have
supported our e≠orts along the way. Without their donations of food, funds, and time we
could not continue to provide our essential services. In addition, every sta≠, Board and
committee member who is, or has been, part of Second Harvest has played a significant
role in providing a meal to someone in need. On behalf of Second Harvest I would like to
thank all of these people for caring enough to make a difference.
At the centre of our work are over 200 social service agencies that are on the front lines of
hunger every day, providing critical programs to our city’s most vulnerable. We are proud
to work with these community partners who help improve our city, one meal at a time.
Second Harvest was built on a desire to help feed Toronto’s hungry. Towards that end,
we have achieved many things over our twenty-five year history. We’ve rescued and
delivered over 70 million pounds of food, developed innovative programs like Harvest
Kitchens, and expanded our services – but our reality remains a somber one. Doing the
work that Ina Andre and Joan Clayton, our founders, started in 1985 remains a challenge
as good food continues to go to waste and people are still going hungry.
The next phase of our journey will bring more awareness to hunger issues in our city and
the concept of food recovery. We remain steadfast in the pursuit of our vision “that no
one need ever go hungry in the communities we serve”.

Message from our Executive Director
This was an exceptional year for Second Harvest. For the first time ever, we collected
6.4 million pounds of food and raised more than $3 million! We are now providing
enough food for more than 16,000 meals a day and are still able to deliver a pound of
food for less than fifty cents. Thank you to all our donors, volunteers and sta≠ who have
helped make this possible.
There were a number of encouraging signs in this, our 25th anniversary year:
•We added two new agencies to our Direct Delivery program and increased the amount
of food delivered to our current agencies by 8%.
•Our key fresh food categories – dairy, produce and protein – were up 18%.
•Two pro-bono firms – Top Drawer Creative and Faye Clack Communications – helped us
achieve record publicity.
•A very successful Toronto Taste attracted 1,200 guests and raised enough funds to
provide over 500,000 meals.
•We delivered more food while driving fewer kilometres, with fewer stops and hours per route.
•We received two third-party endorsements from Charity Intelligence Canada and
MoneySense magazine.
•On the evening we gathered to thank our donors and volunteers, the CN Tower was
glowing ‘Second Harvest’ green to commemorate our 25 years of service to Toronto.
As pleased as we are with these successes, I would be remiss in not mentioning that there
remains an increasing need in the city for our services. To this end, we pledge this year to
work tirelessly to rescue even more fresh food and feed more hungry people in Toronto.
Stephen Faul
Executive Director
Second Harvest Programs
Direct Delivery The core of our work, our Direct Delivery program, dispatches seven
trucks throughout the city to rescue fresh food and deliver that food to over 200 social
service agencies.
Second Harvest
Feeding Our Future A summer program, in partnership with the Sodexo
Foundation, Feeding Our Future provides over 30,000 lunches to kids in inner-city
summer camps. This program ensures that kids who get subsidized lunches through
the school year also receive a nutritious lunch while attending summer camp.
Harvest Kitchens Our culinary training program, Harvest Kitchens, trains adults
and youth facing barriers to employment in food preparation, providing valuable job
skills needed to achieve a self-sufficient future.
4
Hunger Squad Hunger Squads are groups of corporate volunteers in the downtown
core who use a portion of their lunch hour to walk to a local cafe, bakery or restaurant,
pick up a small food donation and transport it on foot to a social service agency nearby.
This program increases e≤ciency by reducing gas costs and truck maintenance while
bringing in more food.

donations we received this year.
The majority of food we receive is
delivered through our Direct Delivery
program. This year we recovered and
delivered 6,341,128 pounds of food. In
some cases we will connect a food
donor directly to a social service
agency. This year brokered food
totaled 92,586 pounds. Combined,
Second Harvest delivered 6,433,714
pounds of food this year.

Key Indicators Second Harvest
In order for Second Harvest to rescue and deliver food throughout
the city every day we need the ongoing support of food donors, financial donors and
volunteers. Without this network of support we could not continue providing relief to
Toronto’s hungry.
Food Value Second Harvest distributed 6,433,714 pounds of food last year. Using a
value of $2 per pound of food (based on consultation with Food Banks Canada), this food is
worth approximately $12,867,428.
Volunteer Hours Second Harvest is fortunate to count on 1,195 volunteers who
lend their time and talent to our work. Statistics Canada acknowledges the importance of
volunteers by valuing their work at $17.38 per hour. This year our volunteers contributed
13,812 volunteer hours, which saved Second Harvest over $240,000.
6
In-Kind Donations In addition to financial and food donations, many businesses
choose to support Second Harvest by donating products or services. This fiscal year, those
donations were valued at $1,307,062 which included truck insurance, courier costs, design
and print work, advertising and many other gifts, such as the generosity of our Toronto
Taste chefs and their suppliers for their endless contributions.

70,000,00 pounds of food rescued and delivered to-date.
Second Harvest Deliveries 1985
Second Harvest Deliveries 2009
Now serving Toronto for 25 years, Second Harvest is a charitable
organization that takes a common-sense approach to hunger.
We pick up donated, perishable food, which would otherwise go
to waste, from restaurants, grocery stores and manufacturers
and deliver that food to over 200 social service agencies in the
city. Second Harvest provides enough fresh food for over 16,000
meals daily to children in after-school programs, seniors on fixed
incomes, women fleeing domestic abuse, homeless people, those
a≠ected by the recession and thousands of others who have fallen
on hard times. Since 1985 Second Harvest has rescued over 70
million pounds of excess food and prevented 36 million pounds of
COC equivalent emissions from entering our atmosphere.
