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 has partnered 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. Our page Share it - don't toss it! provides a platform for individuals and businesses in Ottawa to share food they don’t want to throw away.
