🚚 For the third year in a row, Reliance will participate in the Second Harvest Hero Truck Pull Challenge. Second Harvest is Canada’s largest food rescue organization and a global thought leader on perishable food redistribution. For every dollar raised, Second Harvest will provide more than two healthy meals for people experiencing food insecurity in local communities through over 3,000 agencies.

 

🍽 On May 15, 2024, we’re looking to compete against other teams of ten people to pull a 20,000-pound delivery truck across Nathan Phillips Square in the fastest time, all in support of food rescue in Canada. We need your help! Our goal is for Team Reliance to collectively fundraise and donate $2,500.

Did you know that $49 billion worth of surplus edible food goes to waste in Canada every year? This is enough food to effectively end the problem of food insecurity in our country. However, instead of providing nourishment, this food rots in landfills, emitting harmful greenhouse gases that damage the environment. While this food perishes, an overwhelming 6.9 million Canadians experience food insecurity on a regular basis.

That’s where Second Harvest comes in with its dual mission to grow an efficient food recovery network while reducing the negative environmental impact of avoidable food loss and waste. Since 1985, Second Harvest has worked across the supply chain to capture nutritious, surplus food before it ends up in landfills and redistribute it to a network of over 3,700 non-profit and social service agencies to feed people in need.

Join us in the fight against food insecurity and climate change by making a donation to help Second Harvest rescue fresh, surplus food and feed Canadians in need.

Thank you for your support of Team Reliance!
