Volunteer

​

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.

Helping from Home

 

Lots that you can do!

​

  • Call your neighbours, friends and family.  Your friendly voice can make all the difference to someone’s day.

​

  • Donate to the Ottawa Food Bank.  The need for food in our community is growing weekly.

​

  • Explore this website for useful resources. This website is full of information and resources especially for our community.

​

  • Print and post.  Print copies of these posters (Help is Available  or Volunteers Needed).  While on a walk, tape it to lampposts. Place it in the rear window of your car. Share it on social media. Email it to your friends and family.

​

  • Help someone who needs help.  Guide anyone who needs food or social services to 2-1-1 (phone call), the Food Bank (food delivery) or OttawaCares.ca (community-based resources).​​​​​
