Volunteering at the Ottawa Food Bank
Thank you for your interest in volunteer opportunities at the Ottawa Food Bank. Volunteers are our most valuable resource and an integral part of the work we do. If it wasn't for their hard work and dedication, the Ottawa Food Bank would not exist!
During the week, volunteers can be found at our Michael Street location working in the warehouse or helping out in the office. We also require the help of many weekend and evening volunteers to assist with food sorting and special events. A few hours of your time can make a tremendous difference in our community.
In accordance with Ontario Human Rights Legislation, the Ottawa Food Bank does not discriminate against applicants on the basis of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socio-economic background or ethnicity. All individuals who are qualified and meet requirements established for a position are welcomed within the Ottawa Food Bank.
