A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD 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 ICanada, 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, DAVID LAW I congratulate the Ottawa Food Bank team for their efforts and their results. To them and to our member PARTNER GOWLINGS, LLP 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.

FRESH HARVEST AND CITY HARVEST are the Ottawa 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. BABY BASICS PROGRAM provides our front-line member agencies with essential, costly infant care items including baby food, cereal, provides fresh local produce to our formula, and diapers. The program targets the community’s most vulnerable COMMUNITY HARVEST neighbours in need across the city of Ottawa. Last year approximately population – infants whose parents lack the resources to adequately provide 700 volunteers provided over 2,700 hours of farm labour at our seven acre for them on a daily basis.

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
