Fill the Plates this Spring Season!
With the clocks changing for daylight savings, the long winter days are giving way to brighter days. As we transition into a new season, over 25% of families and individuals in Ottawa will continue having empty plates into the spring.
We are feeling hopeful as we head into another year of our Fill the Plates Spring Food Drive, partnering with over 20 grocery stores across Ottawa.
On Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM, you can drop off non-perishable food items at the participating Loblaws, Metro, Real Canadian Superstore, and YIG locations listed below. Ottawa Food Bank volunteers will be collecting donations at the entrance of the grocery stores. Monetary donations can also be made through our website here.
This spring season, our most needed items are cereal, canned tomatoes, and oats. If you are unable to attend the food drive, we invite you to make a monetary donation . Your contributions make up 98% of the donations we receive every year. Thank you for your time and generosity!
Your participation in the food drive allows the Ottawa community to have access to healthy and nutritious food this spring.
See you there!
