Help us Fill Fridges and Register your workplace for our annual Holiday Food Drive presented by Mosaic!

This year, due to COVID-19, we are launching early to give everyone a chance to participate safely.

This time of year is aptly known as the “season of giving”. People across the city always inspire us by their generosity at this time.

We are calling on your support during the season of giving to help us through the holidays and into the New Year. Starting around now and into the weeks leading to Christmas and New Year’s, we raise over half of our annual budget.. Without this support, it would be difficult to continue to keep up with the demand for assistance in Ottawa.

Last year, over the course of the Holiday Food Drive a total of 433 workplaces, classrooms, community groups, and teams collectively raised more than $240,000 and 98,195 lbs. of food.

About Mosaic, our Holiday Food Drive sponsor:

On average in North America, Mosaic supports more than 136 food security organizations investing nearly $1.7 million annually. Nearly 3 million meals have been provided to families in need in Canada where they invest in food security and education initiatives.

The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) is the world’s leading integrated producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash. They employ more than 13,000 people in six countries and participate in every aspect of crop nutrition development.

They mine and process phosphate and potash minerals into crop nutrients, and then ship via rail, barge and ocean-going vessel to their customers in the major agricultural centers of the world.

The work of mining and processing potash and phosphate minerals is an energy- and water-intensive endeavor. They work carefully to maximize efficiencies and minimize their use of energy and natural resources, and have made significant progress in reducing Mosaic’s environmental footprint.
