Become a Champion of Hope
Join a community dedicated to lifting people out of homelessness.
Join a group of caring and compassionate people who provide hope and lasting change to our neighbours in need. When you become a Champion of Hope, you’re not just providing a meal and a warm bed, you are providing hope for a brighter future.
It starts with a meal
With you by our side, The Ottawa Mission serves over 1 million meals every year. Every meal is an opportunity to access transformational programs to support our neighbours in need.
Standing together, you offer addiction and trauma support, medical and hospice care, job training, education support and spiritual care.
Every month you give hope, compassion and kindness. Your gift allows those in need to find the support they need to find their new beginning.
As a Champion of Hope, you are in good company!
“Being a monthly donor… is an expression of my continuous pledge to support those in need in our community.”
— Ian – Monthly Donor and volunteer
“I was blown away with the scope of The Mission’s work. They offer counselling, hot meals, clothing, a bed, medical, dental care… an amazing Hospice, and more!”
— Krysia – Monthly Donor and volunteer
“It’s easy—our pensions come in monthly, so giving this way just makes sense. So many have so much, and some not enough… Everyone deserves support.”
— Dorothy and John – Monthly Donors
“In June 2022. I saw a young man lying on the sidewalk by his bike… I decided since I had failed to help that man, I could contribute to an organization that would assist others like him. ”
— JoAnne – Monthly Donor
