Helping Children Thrive. One Meal at a Time.

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.
