COBS Bread Partners with Second Harvest: Spreading Joy and Reducing Food Waste
At COBS Bread, our commitment to supporting local communities has always been at the heart of what we do. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our new national charity partnership with Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food rescue organization. Together, we’re taking a stand against food waste and food insecurity, working to ensure that no good food goes to waste.
Why Second Harvest?
Second Harvest is on a mission to rescue surplus food across the supply chain and redistribute it to charities, non-profits, and community organizations. With over 40 years of experience, they have become a leader in food rescue and redistribution, ensuring that fresh, healthy food reaches those who need it most it most across Canada.
For COBS Bread, this partnership is a natural fit. Our bakeries are dedicated to minimizing food waste through initiatives like our End of Day Giving Program, where unsold bread and baked goods are donated to local charities. By joining forces with Second Harvest, we can expand our impact, helping even more communities across the country.

Through this collaboration, we will:
- Rescue More Food: COBS Bread locations will contribute surplus products to Second Harvest’s network of non-profits and charities.
