About

Our vision is healthy, accessible, sustainable food for all. We work in partnership to create a healthier city by empowering people, increasing access to healthy food, and advocating for systemic changes that reduce food insecurity.

The Ottawa Food Bank operates a warehouse and food distribution centre which supports over 100 food bank and food programs in our community. We also operate our Community Harvest Farm in Stittsville that grows over 20 different crops.

‍

Volunteers support both major activities as well as special events and more.  Individuals, students, and families looking to volunteer can expect to assist with activities such as food sorting, working at our farm, or with special events like food drives.

‍

Corporate and community groups interested in booking a group food sorting shift at the Ottawa Food Bank or helping at our Community Harvest Farm should email our Manager of Volunteer Resources, Jo-Anne Turple, at joanne@ottawafoodbank.ca.
