Food Secure Sticker

Since 1984, the Ottawa Food Bank has supported our community – and the need has never been this dire. Right now, 1 in 4 Ottawa households experiences food insecurity. Our city is facing a hunger crisis.

The Ottawa Food Bank’s goal is to reduce the need for food banks; and when food insecurity does occur, we want to ensure our community has the capacity to provide a holistic response.

We need all hands-on deck to end this crisis. Show your pride in supporting our mission toward a #FoodSecure2050.
