Annual Courthouse Food Bank Drive - February 29 to March 4, 2016
February 23, 2016
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 50,000 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, February 29 to Friday, March 4, 2016, and donate them from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM at our table in the first floor atrium. 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.
We are excited to note that we also have an online donation platform! Donations can easily be made by clicking here! Any online donations made through that link will be counted in the total for the year.
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 $5,943.18 and donated 450 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: Susan Mitchell & Friends from TS Lawyers
- Tuesday: Karen Ann Reid & Friends from the Criminal Defense Bar
- Wednesday: Khalid Elgazzar & Friends
- Thursday: Lisa Sharp & Friends from the Family Law Study Group
- Friday: Hooper Litigation
Thank you for all your support - we look forward to seeing you next week!
