Making Old Ottawa East an Even Better Place to Live, Work, and Play!
Old Ottawa East
Holiday Food Drive
Dec 1, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026
At this time of year, the need to support our neighbours is critical. Consider giving back this holiday season through the 2025 Old Ottawa East Holiday Food Drive. From Dec 1, 2025 to Jan 2, 2026, CAG will be collecting donations for the Ottawa Food Bank to support those in need of this essential service.
Donations can either be financial or food.
Last year, our wonderful OOE community helped us raise $2,141.00 and around 100 lbs of food! Join CAG in making an even larger impact this year.
