What happens when a group of friends see an opportunity to address food insecurity in our city? Ottawa Food Rescue (OFR) happens.
We work with donors, volunteers and
charities to support those who may struggle to find a nutritious meal.
Our volunteers regularly deliver dairy, fruit, vegetables, baked goods and beverages from generous supermarkets to local charities.
The day starts with OFR drivers heading over to a nearby food donor. Loading up with all sorts of donated groceries, they drive to one of the city's outreach programs. The donation is then brought into fridges and cupboards for later distribution.
