Fighting Community Hunger Since 1984

Hunger has many faces.

The Ottawa Food Bank needs your help this holiday season. Please help when you receive your appeal letter in the mail -- if everybody gives, everybody eats. Secure donations can be made online, by mail, or by calling 613-745-7001. Thank you for your ongoing support!


Hold a Food Drive or a Fundraising Event

Organize a food drive at your office, extra-curricular activities or with a group of friends. Hunger extends far beyond a holiday meal and the Ottawa Food Bank needs your help year-round. Register your food drive or fundraising event today!


Agency Look-Up Tool Launched

Thank you to all of our partners who helped us celebrate the launch of the Agency Look-Up Tool. This tool can be accessed by clocking the "Need Food?" button on the upper-right corner and provides up-to-date information on emergency grocery hampers. Special thanks is exteneded to IBM, The Ontario Trillium Foundation andTthe Social Planning Council of Ottawa for helping us bring this vital tool to life.

 

Creative Fundraising Spotlight

Privasoft held an Amazing Race competition to benefit the Ottawa Food Bank in November. The company’s staff members were set loose on a city-wide scavenger hunt. The last item on their list? Purchase as many non-perishable groceries as possible and travel with them on foot to the Ottawa Food Bank. Chilled but in good spirits, the Privasoft team arrived at our warehouse one December afternoon with over 600 pounds of food!
