It's that time of year again.

CBC Ottawa hosts Project Give on Friday, Dec.10. While we can't be together this year to support the Ottawa Food Bank's efforts to help people struggling to put food on the table,the need to give and help out is as important as ever.

Through our special day of programming, we'll meet the people who are making the season kind by sharing foodand showcasing acts of kindness inthe community.

Our plans this year will be slightly different again, but they will have the same objective: to share the stories of people and organizations thatarehelping to make an impact in our city by fighting hunger.

We know many are facing financial hardship this season, but if you are able, please consider making a donation to Project Give in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.
