We are extremely grateful and touched by how the community has responded so far to our increased needs during these uncertain times. The community has been so generous, and we are confident that throughout the continuation of this current situation, we can count on you all to keep making a difference for our neighbours.
Thank you for the messages you send our way when you donate. We read and appreciate them all and would like to share some of them with you:
Bless you and the work you do. I cannot get out to help. I'm glad you're there.
Hopefully, this little action can make a difference.
Everyone needs to feel safe right now.
I am so impressed with the Ottawa Food Bank and all staff + volunteers.
I am thinking so much about food scarcity and those in need as our store shelves empty and people will inevitably get laid off.
As a family, we want to support those that can't during this difficult time.
Food is great! Let's not go hungry during these trying times.
Food should be accessible to everyone <3 Thank you for the hard work you do for those in need.
For anyone who may be struggling to buy or access food due to COVID-19.
From our family to yours - hoping no one goes hungry during this stressful time.
Best of luck with everything! I know it must be a hard time but I hope this little bit helps 🙂
Good luck with dealing with COVID-19. I know so many depend on you.

Given these extraordinary times, there may be a delay in getting paper tax receipts out to people. We are working with reduced staff and are expecting delays. Thank you for your understanding.

I am in dire need of food. I did pick up some groceries at the Bank st location two weeks ago. Am I able to get any more?

I understand that. I did get some groceries two weeks ago. I’m trying to find out if I can get more.
I know I was told that I can only get help once per month I am wondering if this emergency allows for additional help. Thanks very much. Please let me know if I can visit the Bank st location on Monday.
