KickStart Program
We believe hunger erodes human dignity, lessens human energy and impairs potential. Our mission is to collect and distribute food to member agencies serving people in need in the Ottawa area.

The Ottawa Food Bank's KickStart Program is devoted to feeding children from low-income families year-round. Through school meal programs and after-school clubs, KickStart provides delivery of nutritious snacks and meals to children who come to school or return home hungry. KickStart also supplies lunches to summertime community day camps where there are no meal programs available.

No child should have to go to school hungry, but it happens every day all across Canada. We run a unique program that feeds school children who may not have any or enough food on the weekends. It takes only $100 to feed a child for an entire school year, which can make all the difference in a child's ability to succeed in school.
