The Situation

Rising Food Insecurity: One in four households in Ottawa is food insecure, highlighting an urgent need for support.
Challenges for the Muslim Community: Ottawa has a Muslim population of 145,000 which is underserved by the city’s only Muslim food bank, which cannot meet growing demand.
Local Food Bank Limitations: Many food banks can only serve within their postal codes, leaving few organizations able to support the entire city.
Barriers for Homebound Individuals: There are no food delivery programs for those unable to leave their homes, creating significant challenges for vulnerable populations.
Lack of Sustainable Solutions: Few organizations are addressing the root causes of food insecurity, leaving many trapped in cycles of dependence.
