About this organization

Please bring ID and proof of address

The Food Centre has always welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds and has treated its clients with dignity and compassion, in a non-judgemental manner. Over the years, the Food Centre has worked to expand its food offerings, to increase the amount of fresh food and toiletries offered to clients, to offer up-to-date information on other social services and complementary resources, and to provide nutritional guidance and tips on food preparation and thrifty shopping. It provides special support for as many clients, especially families, as possible, over Christmas period. It benefits from support from the CCSAC Member churches, the City of Ottawa, the Ottawa Food Bank, local schools and businesses and the generosity of many individuals.
