It’s here! GivingTuesday 2025

GivingTuesday is an annual event observed on the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday since 2012. For many, it is the start of the Giving Season, and is a day dedicated to making a difference.

Maximize your impact and fill fridges this GivingTuesday! Join us to fill 3,000 fridges for our neighbours across Ottawa. Show your care for your community and give back to start the holidays.

Over 1 in 4 households in Ottawa do not have enough food to eat. As grocery prices continue to climb, many have to choose between rent or groceries, and visits to emergency food programs in the Ottawa Food Bank network have doubled since 2019.

It takes $48 to fill a family’s fridge. $336 fills a family’s fridge for a whole week! And thanks to Empire Family of Brands, your gift will have TWICE the impact this GivingTuesday.* One filled fridge becomes two!

Help us fill 3,000 fridges by donating today!

*Empire Family of Brands is matching all gifts made to the Ottawa Food Bank’s

GivingTuesday Fill-A-Fridge Challenge on December 2, 2025 up to $15,000.
