MPI Ottawa’s Charity Auction Supports the Ottawa Food Bank: Fighting Hunger, Feeding Hope

At MPI Ottawa, we recognize the importance of giving back to our community and supporting organizations that make a tangible difference in people’s lives. This year, we are proud to have the Ottawa Food Bank as one of the recipients of our Annual Charity Auction, helping ensure that individuals and families in need have access to nutritious food.

About the Ottawa Food Bank

For over 40 years, the Ottawa Food Bank has been a vital resource in the fight against food insecurity. As the city’s main food collection and distribution hub, the organization supplies over 100 community food programs across the Ottawa region, helping more than 49,000 people each month, one-third of whom are children.

Their mission extends beyond just providing food. The Ottawa Food Bank is committed to long-term solutions to hunger, including investing in fresh, healthy food options and supporting programs that address the root causes of poverty and food insecurity.
