How Can We Help You Today?
A collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa
The Centretown Churches Social Action Committee (CCSAC) is a collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa. CCSAC was started in 1967 by nine churches to respond to social needs in the Centretown area. CCSAC has undertaken many initiatives on behalf of people who are socially and economically disadvantaged in our community. Since 1978, CCSAC’s main project has been oversight of the Centretown Emergency Food Centre (CEFC). CCSAC’s mandate also includes advocacy for social justice, especially for issues relating to poverty.
As we approach the Advent Season, after the bustle of sales on this past weekend, we come to Giving Tuesday tomorrow.
Do consider donating to CCSAC - we are a busy organization working to help those in need in the community. Whether it be our
- Centretown Community Food Centre where those facing food insecurity get to choose the groceried they need
- or the Summer Health Initiative or Winter Warmth program where we support those doing much needed outreach in our community
- or working with others on social justice issues,
our organization consisting of 22 downtown churches aims to be a strong presence in the community.
For more information on all we do, please visit our website www.centretownchurches.org created by our ever helpful James Smeaton of Highland Multimedia.
We hope that you would consider donating this Giving Tuesday to help us help those in need in our community. www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/centretown-churches-social-action-committee/ ... See MoreSee Less

What a lovely idea!Sunday, November 26th is White Gift Sunday -- we're donating books to Cambridge Street Public School. Buy a book, wrap it up in white paper and we'll collect them during the service. If you need ideas, check the website or Grant Hall for the "Wish List" from the school. Book bins will be placed in each Narthex on Sundays during December.
