Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a difficult year for everyone. We hope 2021 will be better, but we are not there yet! Low-income families and people living in poverty are still struggling with the financial impacts of COVID. Your generous donation will help families have food on the table, and warm clothing for the winter season during these hard times.
We are grateful for your support.
The Caldwell Family Centre plays a critical role in supporting residents of Ottawa who are impacted by poverty. In collaboration with partners, we strive to meet clients’ needs in a wide variety of areas, including food security, social engagement, child and youth programming and vocational support.
My spirits were lifted by the kindness and support I received at the Family Centre. We were able to make it through some pretty tough times. Once we are fully on our feet in our new country it is our intent to give back however we can.
I must make some really difficult decisions for my two teens and choose between food for the family or diapers for the baby. I eat my breakfasts and lunches at the Family Centre to ensure there will be food at home for the kids. And I visit the Baby Depot at the Family Centre for baby food and diapers to help me make it to the end of each month.
I am so grateful for the staff at the Family Centre who provided us with food, my daughters with school supplies, and found warm clothing for us at the Clothing Depot.
The family centre has helped me and my family for so many years. We wouldn’t be here without them.
The Computer program got me to speak to my family from home, I haven’t been able to speak to them since last year because I have no Internet.
Caldwell Family Centre does a great job at keeping us fed and full.
The family centre always supports us, and our needs.
Thank you so much for super last night. It was a tasty treat. The fruit is fantastic with bright, cheery bananas and perfect pears. My Favourite. I’ve put the chocolate in the freezer – they last longer if I just nibble it. Again, thanks to the community of lovely volunteers it took to provide this gift. I was feeling sad today. Suddenly I’m not anymore. That’s the real gift.
