The Ottawa Food Bank is a charitable organization dedicated to providing fresh and non-perishable food, as well as essential supplies like diapers and toiletries, to over 100 food programs throughout the city. Our vision is to create a healthier, more accessible, and sustainable food system for all. In pursuit of this goal, we work in partnership with various stakeholders to empower individuals, increase access to healthy food, and advocate for systemic changes that address food insecurity.

Our focus areas include improving access to nutritious food, building capacity and resilience within our food bank network, fostering social innovation in food banking, and participating in advocacy and social change initiatives. Our dedicated team of employees brings a wealth of experience and passion to their roles, ensuring that we consistently make a positive impact on our community. We also welcome volunteers who play a crucial role in our operations.

To support our mission and help us fight hunger in the city, you can make a donation of money or food, participate in our monthly giving program, or explore planned giving options. We also organize various events throughout the year, which you can register for on our events calendar. Join us in our mission to make Ottawa a healthier and more inclusive city.

Together, we can help people beyond hunger
