A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
E
MICHAEL MAIDMENT
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OTTAWA FOOD BANK
very so often we receive a phone call, an email,
or a note scribbled on the back of a cheque
from someone detailing a past experience of
receiving food from the Ottawa Food Bank. One
such experience involved me personally during the
Christmas holidays. After a concert held to raise
funds for the Ottawa Food Bank, an older gentleman
approached me as I made my way to the door. I had
been asked to speak to those attending the concert
about the food bank and he had watched me return
to my seat. He recounted a story of when he was a
child and his family needed a food bank – an experience
that he said not only provided them food, but also
hope for the future. Hope that he remembers to this
day. His handshake disguised a $50 bill, a donation
he said, to help someone else like him.
We talk a lot – admittedly, maybe too much –
about the number of people our organization helps
every month. While the number, approximately 50,000
every month, is important to demonstrate the scale of
the need in our community, I want to take a few moments
to talk about who you are helping. The people we help
are people like you. Yes, people like you. People who
have families and homes and cars and jobs and bills,
but then something unexpected happens.
You lose a job, and unemployment benefits run
out, and you still can’t find work. At first your
savings keep you afloat, but they too run out. You
begin to buy groceries with your credit card, but
that too will only work for so long.
You are diagnosed with cancer. Your benefits
cover you for a while, but your treatment is lengthy.
Your fight with the disease continues, you are simply
too sick to work and there is no money coming in.
You fight to finally escape the violence of civil
war and make it to the shores of Canada. You’re
finally safe in your new home, but finding work is
difficult. You have an apartment but the rent takes
up 65% of your income every month leaving little
money for anything else.
Our goal is to move people beyond hunger, taking
care of them when they need it, while giving them
hope for a better future. That’s where you come in.
Because of your generous support, the Ottawa Food
Bank is there, ready to help, ready to provide food
to families and individuals, no matter the cause of
their need.
The report that follows will tell you more about
how your gift of food or money to the Ottawa Food
Bank was used to help families pay their rent and heat
their homes without going hungry. It illustrates how
the hours you spent volunteering helped a child eat
breakfast and how your donation allowed us to provide
food to a senior living alone on a fixed income.
The Ottawa Food Bank continued its focus on
enhancing the food we make available to people in
need, making strategic investments in our Community
Harvest farm project which yielded over 100,000
pounds of locally grown fruits and vegetables. We
launched a new program called reFRESH last calendar
year, which will provide fresh fruits and vegetables
to families during the winter, a first in our 31-year
history. We were also able to continue to leverage
your donations and our buying power, turning each
dollar donated into $5 worth of food.
On behalf of the Ottawa Food Bank and those we
serve, thank you for your generous support in 2015.
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD
I
DAVID LAW
PARTNER
GOWLINGS, LLP
n a perfect world, everyone able to work would earn a living wage; everyone hungry for a meal, could
provide for herself or her family. But this is not a perfect world. We are remarkably blessed to be in
Canada, but those blessings are not enjoyed by every Canadian. Many cannot make ends meet.
By helping put food on the table, the Ottawa Food Bank and its member agencies enable people to pay
their utility bills and to provide for their children. Families can sit down together over a meal. Young people
can stay in school, seniors can face the day with less worry or anxiety. A small amount of help provides a
great gift of hope.
Part of the Ottawa Food Bank’s mission is to make life better for those in need. As Chair of the Board,
I congratulate the Ottawa Food Bank team for their efforts and their results. To them and to our member
agencies, and to our thousands of donors and volunteers, all of whom play a vital part in the cause, I say
simply this: thank you.

Aid BBQ and radio broadcast raised over $132,000. Since its inception
in 2005, Food Aid has purchased 1,821 cows, had 206 cows donated by
individual beef farmers, and distributed over 1,167,522 lbs of protein
rich ground beef.
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. Close to 50% of food delivered to program participants is
fresh and includes nutritious items such as eggs, milk, cheese, juice,
whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. KickStart has grown significantly
since its launch in 2007 and last year supported over 5,000 children in
49 high needs schools and camp programs; serving 341,500 breakfasts,
102,400 snacks, and 13,534 summer camp lunches.
FRESH HARVEST AND CITY HARVEST are the Ottawa
BABY BASICS PROGRAM 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 Baby Basics 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. Last year
over $102,902 worth of baby supplies were purchased. Purchases combined
with donations enabled the Ottawa Food Bank to distribute 624 cases of
baby food, 2,824 cases of diapers, 1,897 cases of formula, and 1063 cases
of baby cereal to caregivers in need.
Food Bank’s city-wide perishable food recovery 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 a front line partner, typically a meal program or
emergency housing shelter. The City Harvest program focuses on picking up
prepared meals and food items from local restaurants, retirement homes,
and food service providers. These items are also delivered the same day to a
meal program. Both programs are excellent ways we obtain fresh, nutritious
food with the help of our community partners, while reducing food waste
in our city. This past year, a combined total of 656,390 lbs of food and
prepared meals were collected and distributed.
COMMUNITY HARVEST provides fresh local produce to our
neighbours in need across the city of Ottawa. Last year approximately
700 volunteers provided over 2,700 hours of farm labour at our seven acre
growing project near Stittsville, ON. These dedicated volunteers, along
with farm partner Tom Black who donated the farmland, helped to grow
and harvest over 101,700 pounds of produce (potatoes, zucchini, squash,
carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, beets, peppers, broccoli, onions,
kale, eggplants, as well as cantaloupes). With the addition of donations
from other local farms and discounted purchases from partners, the
program brought in a record breaking 176,500 pounds of fresh produce
last year destined for families and individuals in need.
CHICKEN DONATION PROGRAM Since 2010, the Ottawa
Food Bank has been the grateful recipient of over 10,136 cases of top
quality chicken donated from the Chicken Farmers of Canada. Last year,
thanks to this amazing partnership, the Ottawa Food Bank was able to
distribute 1,358 cases of chicken that greatly benefited member agencies
and the families and individuals they support.
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 front line
member agencies. Last year, with community support, the annual Food

FOOD DISTRIBUTION: FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015
The Ottawa Food Bank fights hunger by collecting
millions of pounds of food each year which is
distributed to 140 emergency food programs
throughout the city. This 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.
For the 2014 – 2015 fiscal year, the Ottawa
Food Bank was responsible for helping to provide
food for upwards of 50,000 people per month,
37% of whom were children. The organization
responded to this need by distributing $7,509,618
worth of donated food and $1,246,221 of purchased
food. The items provided to people in need were
broken down in distribution as laid out below.
