WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2026 6:00–9:00 PM
HORTICULTURE BUILDING, LANSDOWNE PARK
An evening of exceptional food supporting school-aged children facing food insecurity in Ottawa.
THE REALITY IN OTTAWA
Child food insecurity is more widespread than you think. And, it’s growing.
2,381 children were served by Ottawa’s shelter system in 2023
Over 1 ,200 children were experiencing sheltered homelessness
25.7% of Ottawa households reported food insecurity
37% of those accessing food programs are children and youth
Behind every statistic is a child trying to learn, grow and feel secure.
Kiwanis Feeds Kids supports practical, local solutions delivered through community partners like
Nutrition Blocs, ensuring school-aged children have reliable access to nutritional meals.
THE EVENT
On May 20th, Ottawa’s culinary community came together for a curated food
and beverage experience featuring respected local chefs, brewers, and distillers.
It was a welcoming evening with a clear purpose.
Every ticket and every dollar raised helped put nutritious meals
within reach for children who need them most.
