Fund drives and food drives, provide the Ottawa Food Bank with the necessary resources to sustain our programs and ensure that a supply of emergency food is available to those who may need it.

It costs $20 million each year for the Ottawa Food Bank to operate and keep up with the need for emergency food, including fresh and culturally appropriate food, in our community.

We can make your donations go further.
