Sysco Canada presented a $50,000 donation to Second Harvest, the food rescue organization, in a milestone event attended by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and MP James Maloney. The contribution underscores a 26-year partnership between the foodservice distributor and Second Harvest that has collectively delivered over 1 million meals to communities across Canada. Second Harvest recovers surplus food from restaurants, grocers, and other food businesses, redirecting it to charities and food banks. The partnership reflects Sysco Canada's commitment to food waste reduction and community nutrition programs. **Why It Matters** Foodservice operators face mounting pressure to address food waste and demonstrate social responsibility. Distributor-led initiatives like this partnership create a scalable model for operators to participate in food rescue without managing logistics themselves—a growing expectation among consumers, staff, and local governments.
