Collect for those in need this holiday season!
Families across our community need your urgent support! Nearly 1 in 4 households in Ottawa are struggling to afford enough to eat.
That’s why, each November, we call on YOU and challenge neighbourhoods, sports teams, faith communities, workplaces, and other groups across Ottawa to collect funds and non-perishable food for families in need, as part of our Holiday Food Drive, presented by Mosaic.
How it works:
- Register your Holiday Food Drive through our online registration form to set up your virtual fund drive or physical food drive
Drop-Offs and Pick Ups:
The Ottawa Food Bank will only dispatch a driver to pick up a load of food donations of 10 boxes or more. If you have requested a pickup, a member of the Community Engagement and Events Team will be in touch closer to the date to confirm the pickup day and time and amount of food collected. Please add your event ID # to all boxes.With less than 10 boxes of food collected, please drop them off at our warehouse or one of our grocery store donation bins in participating Loblaws and Metro locations.
If you wish to drop off collected food before the holidays, ensure it is brought to the Ottawa Food Bank warehouse by 11AM on Friday, December 23rd, 2024. Sadly, the need for food support continues beyond the holiday period. We are extremely grateful to accept your food donations throughout January.

Help Us Fill Fridges This Holiday Season!
We’re counting on our community to help us fill as many refrigerators as possible! It can cost a family of four $336 per week to fill their fridge with nutritious food. You can help them stock up by raising funds or collecting food.
The Holiday Food Drive is a great way to kick off the holiday season, and the proceeds help the Ottawa Food Bank provide food and support to the network of member agencies and their communities well into the winter months.
