Bruce Power’s Supplier Partners have donated $50,000 to the new OSHaRE Food Depot in Owen Sound.
OSHaRE, a non-profit organization that provides meals to people and families in the Owen Sound region, cut the ribbon on May 30 on its new food depot, which will allow it to access and store more free food that supports the work of its local partner agencies and expand its local food rescue/donation efforts.
“Bruce Power’s suppliers are proud to support this important program with a $50,000 donation,” said Maggie Tieman, Bruce Power’s Director of Community and External Affairs. “Food insecurity is an ongoing challenge regionally, and we’re thankful for the generosity of Bruce Power’s suppliers and the dedication of OSHaRE to helping local people access fresh and healthy food.”
Colleen Trask Seaman, Executive Director of OSHaRE, said the 2,700 sq. ft. depot will increase the organization’s capacity to accept skids of fresh, frozen and non-perishable foods, which will be shared through the Grey Bruce Food Share program, which assists families across Grey and Bruce counties.
“The new OSHaRE Depot would not have been possible without the incredible support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation and partners like Bruce Power’s suppliers,” Trask Seaman said. “Thanks to the generosity of Bruce Power’s suppliers, this program expansion provides the stability and sustainability needed to support more individuals and families across our region.”
In 2026, through Bruce Power’s Supplier Sponsorship Program, the company’s nuclear supply chain partners have donated more than $750,000 to local, provincial and national organizations that benefit health care, food and housing insecurity, cancer research and family support, and veterans and first responders.
