Eastside Holiday Food Drive
We’ve had a great year on the mats. Last week, we were focused on growing our community at Eastside. This week, we're shifting our focus outward.
"Everyone can be great because everyone can serve." - Martin Luther King Jr.
Strength isn't just about what we do on the mats. Strength is also about how we lift up our neighbours and our community.
Starting today, we're kicking off our Holiday Food Drive in partnership with Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre. Food insecurity is a real issue in Ottawa. We're hoping our Eastside crew and the broader BJJ community can come together to put a dent in it.
We're collecting non-perishable items all month. Next time you come to train, grab an extra can of soup, a box of pasta, or a jar of peanut butter from your pantry or the grocery store.
We'll also be collecting eggs and milk for weekly delivery.
Lastly, the early cold has created an urgent need for kids' snowsuits and boots which we'll also be collecting throughout the month.
