Nominated by member Dennis Jarvis, the By-Town Heritage Club was pleased to provide Foodsharing Ottawa with a $500 donation to support their amazing community effort. Foodsharing Ottawa has been rescuing surplus food in Canada’s capital since 2015. Their mission is to reduce the amount of food that gets thrown away in the community by providing and promoting alternative uses. Most of their rescued food is donated to local charities such as food banks and shelters.
Foodsharing Ottawa told us, “When two organizations share a common interest to serve those in the community, it is always nice when one can help the other in a concrete way. Foodsharing Ottawa is thrilled to receive this year’s community support award from the By-town chapter of the Heritage Club. The award is deeply appreciated and will support efforts to benefit the community through food redistribution as well as education campaigns on ways to reduce food waste to benefit the environment by diverting surplus food from landfill.”
