​
Can you volunteer
to help your neighbours during Covid-19?
​
Can you deliver food from the Food Bank to residents?
​
Your community association hope you reply yes!
OttawaCares cares for Cardinal Glen, Castle Heights, Lindenlea, New Edinburgh, Manor Park, Overbrook, Rockcliffe Park and Vanier.
​
Together, we are organizing community- and Ward-wide responses to support the most vulnerable in our communities. Through this website – OttawaCares.ca – we have created an online destination especially for our communities.
​
Ottawa Cares is here to support friends and neighbours impacted by the spread of COVID-19.
