Employees from RBC will not only be volunteering with the Ottawa Food Bank, but will also present the charity a $30,000 cheque from the RBC Foundation. These funds will support the Ottawa Food Bank’s fresh food purchases once its Community Harvest farm project wraps up its harvest season in late October.
