THE OTTAWA MISSION’S SPECIAL CHRISTMAS DINNER

Ottawa, ON – The Ottawa Mission helps hundreds of people who are struggling during the Christmas season. We hope to make the holidays a little brighter with the annual Christmas Dinner. The Ottawa Mission’s special Christmas Dinner will take place Sunday, December 17th from 11:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. in The Mission’s Dining Room.

Preparations are already underway in The Mission kitchen as it is estimated 2,500 plates of delicious turkey dinner will be served to those who are homeless, hungry, or alone.

Many special volunteer servers, including some from Ottawa City Hall, Queens Park, and various community leaders, will be dropping by during our special dinner event. They will join about 110 community volunteers that will be on hand to help out as well.

The menu for our Christmas Dinner consists of:
