Yesterday, we came together as 71 member agencies, 98 food programs, and neighbours with lived and living experience to tell the Community Services Committee that Ottawa is in a food insecurity crisis. We urged the City to approve and adequately fund the Poverty Reduction Strategy in the 2025 budget. Over 20 community representatives spoke with one voice: our community needs real support, and we need it NOW.![]()
