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.

Our Mission: To unite Christians of all denominations through joint participation in social projects and prayer.

Looking for your support to our Centretown Community Food Centre. Every bit helps!Here is our regular wish list.

We appreciate your ongoing support and generosity. Every month we serve over 800 households and over 1500 of our neighbours and friends. We couldn't do it without you.

We will be updating our donation wish list in the coming months as we adjust to the reductions in the Ottawa Food Bank food deliveries in 2025.

** In addition to the regular wish list items, we are also in need of menstrual products as are supplies are very low.

Cash donations in lieu of non perishable items are also appreciated as we have limited storage space.

Donations can be made through Canada Helps www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/80682

There has been much need in our community this year and together we have helped make the lives of a few people a little better. www.centretownchurches.org/
- Our food centre Centretown Community Food Centre has worked harder than ever this year serving those facing food insecurity. Besides the funds donated by our churches through their budgets, we were very happy to have raised over 50k to support the food centre in its work.
- We have supported various organizations with hygiene products in the summer and winter warmth items in the winter.
- Our Board members have participated in several meetings throughout the year with organizations trying to work on poverty reduction in our community.
It’s been a busy year and we look forward to working with everyone again in 2025.

We hope that you have had a good year too and wish you all the very best for the new year. God bless you abundantly in 2025! 🙏🏻🎊✨
