Foodsharing Ottawa

Foodsharing Ottawa was founded in 2015 by a group of volunteers passionate about reducing food waste. Our main focus is on rescuing surplus food from local businesses such as grocery stores and restaurants, and donating it back to the community where it’s needed. Through this work we are helping to reduce the environmental impact of food waste and address food insecurity in our community. Foodsharing Ottawa partners with a wide range of businesses across Ottawa who generously donate their surplus or unwanted food. We donate food to charities and not-for-profit organizations in Ottawa, who re-distribute it to those in need. In addition to donating rescued food, Foodsharing Ottawa promotes smarter ways to reduce food waste. We rely on a network of passionate volunteers who help us toward our vision: a fair and sustainable food system.
