CFC Helping to Drive Away Hunger

The Ottawa Business Journal has joined forces with the Ottawa Food Bank to help fight community hunger this holiday season. They're challenging businesses across the National Capital Region to run company food drives to collect non-perishable goods as part of their Drive Away Hunger campaign. CFC has joined the campaign and is conducting a food drive to help fight hunger.  Since CFC is in the business of providing a food commodity, we are broadening our level of commitment to the Ottawa Food Bank, with whom we have a current partnership, donating an average of $5,000 of proceeds from the sale of chicken sandwiches and salads at our yearly Great Canadian Chicken BBQ. Sadly, the hunger problem in the National Capital Region is worse than ever -- 43,000 people seek monthly assistance through food programs supported by the Ottawa Food Bank, and 40% of those receiving assistance are children.
