Our Second Harvest Logo Renewed and Refreshed Even the words Second Harvest remind us every day that we’re reviving-or renewing-the original and sole purpose of food: to eat it! Not to let it go to waste, as so much of the food grown in Canada and worldwide does (and is expected to). Second Harvest is synonymous with our vision of No Waste. Introducing Second Harvest’s Brand RefreshĪs we’ve expanded to help communities across Canada and online with our food rescue app, our logo and brand name have been invaluable. This is an exciting time – a time to share Second Harvest to all Canadians with a new look that represents the organization we have become, a unified brand that clearly showcases our values, mission and vision of a Canada with No Waste and No Hunger. “This has been an important journey,” CEO Lori Nikkel says, “starting from our humble roots serving the Toronto community and now to a national organization serving over 900 communities. In the spirit of renewal, Second Harvest is thrilled to announce the launch of our brand refresh! Our original grassroots mission hasn’t changed, but our national and digital scale and vision have given it a renewed sense of purpose. Second Harvest has proudly become the largest food rescue organization in Canada and a global thought leader on food recovery, food waste, and hunger relief. What started out as a brilliant idea at a grassroots non-profit organization in Toronto has since expanded to meet the growing need across the country, changing the lives of (and inspiring action from) millions of Canadians. What if we rescued fresh food from local grocers, farmers, manufacturers, and distributors before it expired or went to waste? Then, we could redistribute that surplus food to our community food banks, agencies, soup kitchens, schools, and other organizations that needed it! Since 1985, Second Harvest has rescued and delivered more than 177 million pounds of food, preventing over 75 million pounds of greenhouse gas equivalents from entering our atmosphere.
