Help Fight Community Hunger: Annual Courthouse Food Bank Drive - March 2 to 6, 2015

Attention Ottawa legal community!

Please join us again this year in the fight against community hunger by supporting the Ottawa Food Bank. The Ottawa Food Bank provides emergency food to over 48,000 people in our community each month, 37% of those being children. Please take a moment to click here and read the fact sheet on this very important local charity.

To help out, please bring in non-perishable food items or cash during the week of Monday, March 2 to Friday, March 6, 2015, and donate them from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM at our table in the first floor atrium or on the second floor near the Information Desk. Temporary tax receipts will be given out for all cash donations. For every $1 you donate, the Food Bank turns that into $5 of food buying power.

New this year, we are excited to announce that we have an online donation platform! If you'd like to make an online donation, please click here and be sure to select "Ottawa Courthouse Food Bank Drive" from the drop down list.

If you would prefer, we also welcome donations sent over from law offices. These donations can be delivered to the CCLA Library (room 2004) at 161 Elgin Street; cheques can be made payable to "Ottawa Food Bank." We will include all donations sent this way in our total for the week, so consider an office-wide contribution!

Last year we raised over $7000.00 and donated 785 LBS of food - let’s try to break last year’s total!

We'd like to thank in advance those people who will generously be donating their time at the Food Bank Drive tables next week:

• Monday - Lisa Sharp & Friends from the Family Law Bar
• Tuesday - Susan Mitchell & Friends from Tierney Stauffer LLP
• Wednesday - Khalid Elgazzar & Friends
• Thursday - Nelligan O'Brien Payne LLP
• Friday - Williams McEnery LLP
