We are only a few days away from our special Thanksgiving dinner! On Monday, October 13th thousands will join us in our dining room for a warm meal and a moment of connection.

With the ongoing Canada Post strike affecting mail delivery, we're facing an urgent challenge in receiving timely donations.

For just $4.68, you can provide a warm Thanksgiving meal to someone in need. Your gift doesn't just fill a plate - it offers hope and the chance to break the cycle of poverty.

At The Ottawa Mission, a meal is often the first step toward transformation. When someone sits at our table, they find not only nourishment, but connection to housing support, addiction treatment, and pathways to independence.

As we prepare to serve 17,000+ meals this Thanksgiving, be part of someone's new beginning.

Together, we can give the gift of hope. Please give online today! 🧡

🦃We are pulling together a Thanksgiving Feast for our Neighbours this weekend and hope to have leftovers for days. If you’d like to contribute, we would happily accept pre-made food items. Cook with your heart. It will all come together this Saturday.
You can also donate through our website and we will provide meals with all the fixings to households/families requesting them.

Give your items a longer life ! It’s Circular Economy Month and we’ve partnered with two community organizations to host free repair events:

Repair Café – Saturday, October 18
Richelieu Vanier Community Centre
300 des Pères-Blancs Avenue
10 am to 2 pm

Ottawa Tool Library’s fixers and menders will be sharing their knowledge and skills around fixing everything from darning socks to re-wiring kettles. There will be free repairs of electronics, bikes, clothing, small appliances, jewelry and more. Please only bring one item to be fixed, as time and space are limited.

Repair Fair – Saturday, October 25
Heartwood House
404 McArthur Avenue

Bring in any clothing items that need to be repaired so you can extend the life of your garments while saving money and landfill space. There will also be sewing machine repairs, scissor sharpening and the chance to shop EcoEquitable’s monthly fabric sale.
