On Saturday, December 9, OC Transpo and Loblaws will join forces for the 39th annual OC Transpo/Loblaw Christmas Food Drive in support of the Ottawa Food Bank. By adding a few extra items to your cart this weekend, you can continue this tradition of coming together to support members of our community during this unprecedented time of need.
This Saturday’s food drive will be held from 10 am to 5 pm at participating Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, Your Independent Grocer and No Frills stores across Ottawa. In addition to non-perishable food items, cash donations are also welcome, either through store cashiers or online at ottawafoodbank.ca/octranspo.
The Ottawa Food Bank's Bantree Street warehouse distributes 14 tons of food every day. This provides 112 member agencies with food and supplies to support our neighbours in need, one-third of whom are children.
Last year, Ottawa residents really came together and helped raise more than $15,000 and almost 62,000 pounds of food. Let’s make the 2023 holiday season even better!
