Food banks, food cupboards and meal programs in Ontario

824 Ontario food listings from the directory, organized by city and region — not a sample. Some organisations appear more than once in the source with different sites or hours; call to confirm which site serves you. If you need food tonight, start with 211 Ontario (dial 211) or the listing for your own city below, and call ahead: hours, ID rules and whether an appointment is needed vary by program.

Ottawa detail page — 28 programs from the Ottawa Food Bank public map → That page is a different, smaller list than this page's Ottawa filter, which includes every directory food listing in Ottawa. Both lists are shown, with the difference explained on the Ottawa page.

Ottawa-specific programs from the Ottawa Food Bank lookup are being merged next, city by city, as that research returns.
