The Feeding the Need campaign arose from a fundraising gap when our biggest fundraiser, Toronto Taste, was cancelled because of COVID. The Daniels Corporation, a long-time Lori Nikkel, CEO supporter, is generously sponsoring Feeding the Need and we are very grateful. In this book, you’ll discover fantastic recipes from some of the many restaurants who freely offered their time, talent, food and staff to support Second Harvest at Toronto Taste. These stellar chefs and restaurants are the reason Toronto Taste has been the city’s premier culinary event and we are delighted to share their creations with you. But you’ll also find recipes that show creativity and deliciousness of a different kind – the recipes created by our non-profit partners using rescued surplus food. Each day, Second Harvest’s fleet of trucks deliver tens of thousands of pounds of surplus produce, protein, dairy and other healthy food to non-profit organizations like student meal programs, seniors services, pre-natal programs, shelters and other non-profits. Each organization chooses what foods they need from the abundant variety on our trucks and distributes it to their community members as groceries or fresh-made meals. Their culinary creativity is reflected here. This past year has been filled with challenges and uncertainty for all of us. It has also been an incredible time of growth for Second Harvest as we made our food rescue app available coast to coast to coast in support of the thousands of non-profits providing much-needed food to their communities. But even in this time of intense change, one thing hasn’t changed: the generosity of people like you. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or a new donor, you are a valued part of our community. Thank you!– 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE DANIELS CORPORATION As presenting sponsor of Feeding the Need, The Daniels Corporation is continuing more than 25 years of support of the vital environmental and social mission of Second Harvest. Daniels has been a long-time sponsor of Toronto Taste, Second Harvest’s annual culinary showcase that brought together 1,400 guests and dozens of restaurants and was Second Harvest’s single largest fundraiser. When COVID restrictions required that Toronto Taste be cancelled for 2020, and then again in 2021, this was a significant blow, especially as Second Harvest was expanding its food rescue operations nationally to fight the pandemic’s impact on vulnerable Canadians. But the mission and work of Second Harvest is needed now more than ever so Daniels rallied our networks to help Second Harvest keep Feeding the Need. Our goal: to enable Second Harvest to provide food for one million meals for people in need coast to coast. Your support is crucial during these uncertain times. On behalf of The Daniels Corporation, thank you for your generosity and for helping to bring healthy food – and hope – to Canadians. 2 Proud tech partner of Second Harvest on the Second Harvest Food Rescue App. Using technology to increase your impact.
