Toronto-based creative agency Bob's Your Uncle partners up with Second Harvest to raise funds for the food rescue organization. The approach to this project proves to be creative, interesting and socially engaging. The central product for the charitable initative is a limited edition beer that is made from bread.

Bob's Your Uncle and Second Harvest repurposed bread that was fast-approaching its expiration date, creating a tasty alcoholic beverage that is appropriately dubbed 'Been a Slice.' This is a viable approach to raising funds for food rescue organizations, as it is a display of how edible waste can be limited.

The release is limited to 500 cases which will be available for purchase at select [LCBO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raccoon-lager) stores, as well as [The Beer Store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whatever-the-case-may-be) and a number of Toronto bars and restaurants.
