A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
W
MICHAEL MAIDMENT
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OTTAWA FOOD BANK
hen I was a young teen, around 11 or 12 years old, I remember a haunting television commercial that
depicted a distraught mother standing in her kitchen opening a can of food. As the lid of the can
slowly peeled open, so too did the roof of her house. The commercial represents the impossible choice
people are forced to make between housing and food. Nearly 30 years later, that television commercial serves as
a poignant reminder of the struggle that faces over 50,000 people in Ottawa every month.
The difficult task of balancing competing costs such as rent, hydro, daycare and food is one of the main
reasons families turn to the Ottawa Food Bank for help. Ottawa Pubic Health reported in 2014 that a family
of four receiving social assistance on average spends 65% of their monthly income on rent and as much as
40% on food, leaving little to no money for other expenses.
During 2014, the number of people who turned to the Ottawa Food Bank increased 5% over last year to
over 51,000 – the most in our 30 year history. 2014 also saw a sharp increase in the number of people who
sought assistance from a food program in Ottawa for the first time. We have become accustomed to hearing the
message that Ottawa is “recession proof” or fares better than other cities in Canada, however these numbers
are concerning.
The silver lining is that the amount of financial support we received from donors also increased in 2014
allowing us to meet the increased demand for our services. We continued to make strategic investments in
our Community Harvest program which yielded a record amount of locally grown fruits and vegetables. We
were also able to continue to leverage your donations, turning each dollar donated into $5 worth of food.
The report that follows will tell you more about how your gift of food or funds to the Ottawa Food Bank
was used to help families pay their rent and heat their homes without going hungry – how the hours you
spent volunteering helped a little boy or girl eat breakfast before school.
On behalf of the Ottawa Food Bank and those we serve, thank you for your generous support in 2014.
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD
A
DIANE MORRISON
RETIRED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
THE OTTAWA MISSION
s I reflect on 2014, my second term as Chair of the Board, I wish to thank all who gave their valuable
time and money for those in need in our community. I am continually struck by the generosity and
kind-heartedness of people in Ottawa.
In 2014, the Ottawa Food Bank found itself in an environment where it needed to help more people than ever
before. For the first time in its 30 year history, the Ottawa Food Bank’s demand reached over 51,000 people.
Rising food prices, expensive housing, and an uncertain job market all contributed to record demand to food.
I’d like to recognize the hard-working staff and volunteers at our 140 member agencies across Ottawa.
These people are the front-line care who ensure hungry people in our community get the help they need.
These people provide a much-needed sympathetic service to our community.
The people who we serve are our neighbours. They may have just arrived from a country in crisis, or may be
school children who have nothing to eat for breakfast. They may be youth trying to get a job, seniors whose
pensions won’t stretch to the end of the month, or a young family who walks into a local food bank Christmas
Eve and says that there isn’t food for the holidays. The Ottawa Food Bank and their member agencies respond
to these needs with dignity and respect.
Thank you to all who helped the Ottawa Food Bank fill the refrigerators, plates, and stomachs of our
neighbours in need across the City.

PROGRAMS
KICKSTART SCHOOL BREAKFAST, SUMMER CAMP,
AND AFTER SCHOOL SNACK PROGRAM provides
focuses on picking up prepared meals and food items from local restaurants,
retirement homes, and food service providers. The items are also
delivered the same day to a soup kitchen or member agency that offers
a meal program. Both programs are excellent ways we obtain fresh,
nutritious food with the help of local restaurants, retirement homes, and
food service providers. This past year, a total of 703,127lbs. of food and
prepared meals were collected and distributed through both programs.
nutritious, daily meals and snacks for school-aged children from low
income families, allowing them to focus on education and play without
the distraction, lessened energy, and health impacts related to dealing
with hunger. Through our member agency school meal programs and
after school clubs, KickStart provides delivery of nutritious food items
to children who may come to school or go home hungry. KickStart also
supplies lunches to day camps throughout the summer when school
meal programs are unavailable. Children participating in the program
receive nutritious items including eggs, milk, juice, whole grain bread,
cheese, granola bars, fresh fruit and vegetables. KickStart has grown
significantly since its launch in 2007 and last year supported:
• 29 school breakfast programs which served 350, 410 breakfasts
(September to June),
• 20 After 4 Clubs providing 102, 370 snacks
• 18 Summer Lunch Programs which provided 13,551 lunches at
Community Camp programs (July and August).
FOOD AID is a vital community initiative that benefits local families
and individuals in need by supplying them with a much needed source of
dietary protein – ground beef (including halal). Protein shouldn’t have
to be a choice – it should simply be part of everyone’s healthy diet. The
Ottawa Food Bank’s Food Aid program makes that possible. With Food Aid,
we raise money to buy cows from the local farming community that we
process locally, freeze, and distribute to our front line partner agencies.
In May 2014 the Ottawa Food Bank’s 10th Annual Food Aid BBQ and radio
broadcast was a great success and thanks to all who participated, we
raised $134,000. Since its inception in 2005, Food Aid has purchased
1,796 cows, had 205 cows donated by individual beef farmers, and
distributed over 878,459 pounds of protein-rich ground beef.
BABY SUPPLY CUPBOARD provides our front-line member
agencies with essential, costly infant care items including baby food, cereal,
formula, and diapers. The program targets the community’s most vulnerable
population – infants whose parents lack the resources to adequately provide
for them on a daily basis. Not only does the Baby Supply Cupboard relieve
the burden on parents who may have to sacrifice their own nutritional
requirements to meet their families’ needs, it also ensures that proper
nutrition is consistently provided for the healthy development of infants.
In the 2013/14 fiscal year, 577 cases of baby food, 3,777 cases of diapers,
1,889 cases of baby formula, and 969 cases of baby cereal were distributed
to caregivers in need.
CHICKEN DONATION PROGRAM Since 2010, the Ottawa
Food Bank has been the grateful recipient of thousands of cases of
top quality chicken donation through its partnership with the Chicken
Farmers of Canada. This past year, the Ottawa Food Bank received and
distributed 1,808 cases of chicken to its member agencies, who in turn
ensured it was provided to families and individuals in need. Since 2010,
the Chicken Farmers of Canada has donated a total of 8,778 cases of
chicken to benefit those in need in our community.
COMMUNITY HARVEST was created to provide a greater
quantity and variety of local nutritious, fresh, and environmentally
sustainable food to those in need the Ottawa community. Through this
unique program, the Ottawa Food Bank has successfully developed and
fostered partnerships with local farmers, and created new volunteer
opportunities for many community members. This past year, thanks to the
hard work of our dedicated volunteers, our main growing project in
Stittsville yielded over 73,000 pounds of fresh produce (including
potatoes, zucchini, squash, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, beets,
peppers, broccoli, onions, cantaloupe, kale, eggplants, and Swiss chard).
Together with donations from other local farms as well as discounted
purchases, the program brought in more than 167,000 pounds of produce
in 2014. The number and variety of crops continue to increase each
year, giving Ottawa Food Bank member agencies and their clients a more
diverse and increased quantity of fruits and vegetables.
FRESH HARVEST AND CITY HARVEST are the Ottawa
Food Bank’s city-wide perishable food retrieval programs. The Ottawa Food
Bank’s Fresh Harvest truck stops at local grocery stores and picks up
donations of fresh meat, produce, bakery, and deli goods. The food is then
delivered the same day to an Ottawa Food Bank member agency, typically
a soup kitchen or emergency housing shelter. The City Harvest program

FOOD DISTRIBUTION: FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014
The Ottawa Food Bank fights hunger by collecting
millions of pounds of food each year which gets
distributed to 140 member agencies throughout
the city. Food is generously donated by the
public and food industry partners through
community food drives, events, and the Red
Cage program which collects food donations
at local grocery stores. Financial donations allow the Ottawa Food Bank to make up for any
shortfall in food donations as well as purchase
nutritious perishable food such as eggs, yogurt,
fresh fruits and vegetables.
The Ottawa Food Bank saw a sharp increase in
the number of people who accessed emergency
food programs during the past fiscal year, reaching
over 51,000 people a month for the first time in
its 30 year history.
The organization responded to the increased
demand by distributing $7,631,150 of donated
food as well as distributing $1,219,206 of
purchased food.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONDENSED):
FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014
F
iscal year 2013-2014 was successful as we exceeded our goals for the
Ottawa Food Bank in terms of revenues. Cash donations were up 14%
compared to the previous year. This improvement can be attributed, in
part, to the fact that we saw a growth in our direct mail campaigns while
overall expenditures were comparable to the previous year.
Food purchases were one of the largest expense items. Salary expenses
increased this year due to the addition of two new positions and repre-

sented 13% of total revenues. We also added the fair market value of
donated food to our financial statement this year since those donations
have a value and therefore must be counted as an asset of the organization.
We are very grateful for the financial support generously provided by the
community. We would not be able to accomplish our mission without this
support. This success has led to a surplus of $409,700 compared to the
deficit of $115,394 in the previous year.
