CBC Project Give

It’s a day-long celebration of giving!

This holiday season, help give hope and health to people in need in Ottawa. Join CBC Ottawa on Friday, Dec. 14 for the annual charity drive, Project Give in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.
We will be out in the community with CBC from sunrise to sundown, bringing you a special day of LIVE radio and TV broadcasts, music, and charitable giving.
This year, CBC Ottawa will present a whole day of LIVE broadcasts with your favourite local hosts and reporters. Ottawa Morning, All in a Day and News at 6 will be live on locations with stories, live music, recipes and contests in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.
Every month, more than 38,400 people are helped by the Ottawa Food Bank. Your support through CBC Project Give makes an important difference in their lives.
