Sunwing has announced a new partnership with the country’s largest food rescue organization in Canada.
It will work with Second Harvest to distribute over 46, 000 meals to 17 communities across the country.
Moncton is just one of the recipients of more than 5,000 meals.
Sunwing was left with the thousands of unused inflight meals after suspending services due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Meals that will be provided through this partnership include smoked meat sandwiches, pizza, sausage rolls and breakfast sandwiches, among other items.
This partnership with Second Harvest, through its program FoodRescue.ca, will allow Sunwing to redirect all unused inflight meals to Canadians in need.
“We know Canadians are worried about their health and safety, but they shouldn’t have to worry about putting food on the table. Working with an incredible organization like Second Harvest gives us the opportunity to continue to help Canadians even as our operations are temporarily suspended,” said Stephen Hunter, CEO of Sunwing Travel Group. “
