📢 Upcoming Event: Join us at Parkdale Public Market on August 1 !
Foodeliver was created because too many families avoid food support not because they do not need help, but because the experience can feel public, limited, unfamiliar, or shameful.
We believe food support should protect dignity.
Foodeliver provides fresh, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food deliveries directly to newcomer and low-income families in Ottawa. Families receive food that reflects their household needs, culture, and preferences in a way that respects privacy, reduces stigma, and supports belonging.
Foodeliver’s Dignity-First Food Access Fund is held at the Ottawa Community Foundation.
Donations made through OCF are eligible for an electronic charitable tax receipt.
Every $50 provides one culturally appropriate food delivery for a family of four.
