GOODWILL INITIATIVE
A student-run organization that aims to help the homeless in Ottawa
30,000+ Items Donated
800+ Meals Served
$5,000 Raised
Our goal is to help vulnerable communities around Canada!
We have organized soup kitchens, donated PPE and essential items to homeless shelters, and fundraised over $4000 to support the homeless in Ottawa.
We plan on continuing to help underserved communities throughout 2021!
Lockdowns and social distancing are essential to lessen the impacts of COVID-19, but for many people, this can result in loneliness and mental health issues.
Those who are ill, living in homeless shelters and retirement homes are particularly at risk for these problems, and we're here to support these individuals.
We are currently partnered with the following shelters:
-
Cornerstone Housing for Women
-
Shepherds of Good Hope
-
Interval House of Ottawa
-
Youth Services Bureau
-
Ottawa Mission
-
Salvation Army
We are working to partner with hospitals and retirement homes for our upcoming project.
We recently launched The Caring Companion Project, where we aim to initiate a campaign to match volunteers to senior residents in retirement homes. Click this for more information!
We are currently recruiting volunteers, and those interested can apply using the link below.
