Who: Artist Christopher Griffin and generous art enthusiasts
The donation: More than $36,000
The recipient: Ottawa Food Bank
The inspiration: “When the pandemic struck I knew I had to do something. Not only was there increased demand on the Ottawa Food Bank but they also had to cancel food drives and many of their fundraising events. I decided to help by painting and auctioning the pieces to benefit those in need.” – Christopher Griffin
