Since 1991, the event has raised over $11 million to support Second Harvest's food rescue program. This has enabled the organization to rescue enough fresh, surplus food to support hundreds of social service agencies across the GTA with more than 27 million meals for children, adults and seniors experiencing hunger in the city. "Twenty per cent of all of our fundraising comes directly from Toronto Taste, making this event critical for Second Harvest's success." In its 26th year, Second Harvest is pleased to announce the 2016 Toronto Taste Chair, Neilesh Daji, as well as Honourary Chairs, Barbara and Franco Prevedello of Carbon Bar. Their steadfast commitment to food rescue and Toronto's culinary community has helped support Second Harvest's vision that no one needs to go hungry. The Daniels Corporation has been a Presenting Sponsor of Toronto Taste for 21 years. "The opportunity to help support Second Harvest, an organization committed to working in our communities to feed people experiencing hunger, is a cause we hold close to our hearts," said Don Pugh, Vice President, The Daniels Corporation.
