Food Navigation and Supports

The Emergency Food Cupboard provides households with a limited number of non-perishable food items once per month.

1 in 4 Ottawa households faces food insecurity, that’s over 556,000 visits to food agencies every year. Demand has increased by 90% since 2019.

The Ottawa Food Bank and its partner agencies work hard to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.

Food is a fundamental human right.
