Fill a bus during the 30th Anniversary of the OC Transpo Christmas Food Drive in Partnership with Loblaw Companies Ltd
This is always a fun food drive for the Ottawa Food Bank – and they’re at it again for the 30th year in a row! OC Transpo will be parking buses outside participating Loblaws, Superstores and Your Independent Grocers locations across Ottawa with the goal to pack them full of food! Stop by to donate on Saturday, December 6th between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Food collected at the Kanata and Stittsville locations will go to their respective food banks, not the Ottawa Food Bank. Please give generously!
