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 Community Food Centre (CEFC). CCSAC’s mandate also includes advocacy for social justice, especially for issues relating to poverty.
We remember with gratitude. ... See MoreSee Less

Your mind may be trying to solve a day that has not arrived. Gently return to what is before you: one breath, one prayer, one responsibility. Jesus invites us to attend to today rather than borrow tomorrow's trouble (Matthew 6:34).
