Feeding the Hungry

Servant’s Heart Ministries & some churches in Ottawa are partnering to offer a meal to those needing it, each Sunday afternoon. Christ Community Church has been asked if we would be interested in providing this meal on each of the 5th Sundays throughout the year. If you would be interested in heading that up, please contact Pam Cronkright by completing the contact form on the Serve page.


Providing Shelter

The local PADS shelter has had a very busy season and is in need of some extra help. Please take a look at the message below and contact the shelter if you are available to help.

We will be having snow days on Thursday Feb 12 and Saturday Feb 14. We are watching the temp on Wednesday Feb 18 as well. Snow days are days when the high for the day will not reach above 15 and we stay open all day for the clients. ​We can only stay open if we have volunteers.

Day shifts are 9am – 1pm and 1pm -5pm. If you are available please call the shelter and talk to staff.

​Thank you for all you do! ​
