Charitable Giving

Curator's Note

We all know that giving helps others but studies have shown that it can actually boost your physical and mental health. In fact, studies have reported lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels and a surge in our feel-good neurotransmitters when we give of ourselves to others. I guess there’s some scientific proof behind “the joy of giving."

THE OTTAWA FOOD BANK/LA BANQUE D'ALIMENTATION D'OTTAWA
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Details

The Ottawa Food Bank provides fresh and non-perishable food, as well as supplies such as diapers, toiletries, and cleaning supplies to those in need in Ottawa through a network of over 100 food programs across the city. These food programs include food banks, food cupboards, meal programs, and After4 programs. While the main goal of the Ottawa Food Bank is to provide emergency food relief to people in need in Ottawa, we are also working towards doing food banking better and making change. This is being done by focusing on four areas: Improving access to healthy food; Growing capacity and resilience in our food bank network; Cultivating social innovation in food banking; and Participating in advocacy and social change. Help us achieve our Vision - Healthy, accessible, sustainable food for all.
