If You Need Food
Do either you or your family require assistance? If you live in the area we serve, you can request support from FAMSAC by calling 613-820-5428 and leaving a message with your name, the number of people requiring assistance and contact information, including when it is best to reach you. Click here to see if you live in one of the areas we serve or to find a different food bank in the city who can help you.
One of our volunteers will contact you to set up an appointment for you to come to the food pantry to pick up your food. Please do not come to the pantry without having made an appointment.
For more information, please see our fact sheet for clients, available in English, French and Arabic.

Feed a Family this Holiday Season!
Our 2024 Christmas Campaign is now underway, and, with the rising cost of food, we expect demand will be very high. Last year, thanks to your generosity, we were able to support 342 families and hope to be able to provide assistance to up to 400 this year. Your donation will help us to help brighten the holiday season for those struggling with food insecurity. Please click here to make a contribution to our Christmas Campaign!
If you live in our catchment area and your family needs a little help this holiday season, please call 613-820-5428 between November 1 and November 30 to leave a message on our answering machine to register for our Christmas Campaign. One of our volunteers will be in touch with you to confirm the arrangements.

We have moved again!
FAMSAC has finally moved into our permanent new home at Hollyer House, a new affordable housing complex located at 3865 Old Richmond Road, next to Christ Church Bells Corners. We are excited to finally be in this space and to be co-located with the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre who also provide vital services to our community. We will be closed until June 5 as we get things set up, but look forward to welcoming you to our new location very soon!

We have moved!
We have moved to a new temporary location at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre, 35 Stafford Road, Unit 7. It is the first unit you see when entering the parking lot. The entrance is located under a door that says “Visual Arts / Arts visuels.” We will be at the NCAC for a few months until construction of our permanent new home at Hollyer House is completed.
