Thank You!! Our hearts are full of gratitude for everyone who made yesterday’s annual Christmas dinner possible! It was a beautiful gathering, filled with connection, stories, and hope for a brighter future. Our community came together over a delicious turkey dinner, sharing laughter and memories at every table. ❤️ Through our food truck program and special holiday meal, we provided 17,789 meals to community members in need. Each plate served was a step towards feeding hope and joy this season. Thank you for making this possible. https://ow.ly/CPvW50UrX1M #MoreThanAShelter

The Canada Post strike is putting us at risk of not meeting our crucial fundraising goal. We are gearing up to serve our special Christmas meal on Sunday and want to ensure we are ready to provide a warm meal to everyone in need.

You can now bring your cash and cheque donations to any DYMON locations across Ottawa leading up to Christmas! Help us deliver hope this holiday season!

We're always so appreciative of those who think of our clients during the leadup to the holiday season. Please join us in thanking these thoughtful groups supporting those in need around this meaningful time of year! ☃️ 🎁 The Manotick Kiwanis club dropped off a generous donation along with bags and bags of our most-needed items: toques, jackets, blankets, and more. 🍪 Warmth4Ottawa came by with hats, gloves, and other warm items for our Clothing Room... and fresh baked cookies for our Diane Morrison Hospice clients. 🧣 Nana’s Knitters from Riverstone Retirement Communities' Bridlewood Trails have a very special place in our hearts! This talented group of ladies knitted hats and scarves for our clients. 🍬 LRO Staffing gathered to learn about our programs and craft some care packages complete with words of encouragement for our clients. 📦 The Canadian Medical Association staff took time out during their holiday celebrations to assemble over 190 care packages that will be distributed to our clients on Christmas morning. We are touched by the kindness and compassion of these groups, and everyone who supports our clients here at The Ottawa Mission. Your donations will warm bodies, hearts and souls! 🤗
