TORONTO, The Shania Twain Foundation and Second Harvest, Canada's largest food rescue organization, are proud to announce a national partnership aimed at tackling two critical and interconnected challenges: food waste and food insecurity.
With a shared commitment to ensuring no one in Canada goes hungry, the partnership will harness the Shania Twain Foundation's dedication to supporting underserved communities and Second Harvest's expertise in rescuing surplus food and redirecting it to those who need it most.
"At the Shania Twain Foundation, we believe everyone deserves access to nutritious food," said Shania Twain, founder of the Shania Twain Foundation. "Second Harvest shares that belief and, together, we can make a meaningful impact across the country by ensuring that good surplus food feeds people — not landfills — and helps uplift communities across Canada."
Through this partnership, the two organizations will work together to expand awareness campaigns, support food rescue efforts and engage with various stakeholders around the issue of food waste in Canada.
"Shania's deep passion for food access and her influential platform will bring an exciting new energy to our mission. Her powerful voice will shine a bright light on the urgent need to address both food waste and hunger in this country," said Lori Nikkel, CEO of Second Harvest. "Together, we can create real change — from raising awareness to driving action in communities across Canada."
By combining storytelling, community outreach and national advocacy initiatives, the Shania Twain Foundation and Second Harvest are set to work together to keep food where it belongs: on plates and out of landfills.
