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 Community Food Centre (CEFC). CCSAC’s mandate also includes advocacy for social justice, especially for issues relating to poverty.

With the heat and rain storms upon us, please keep an eye out for friends, neighbours, and community members who may be struggling.
If you see someone who needs a cool place to get out of the heat or dry place to escape the rain, remember that Centre 507 is air-conditioned and open daily. We offer a safe space to rest, cool down, dry off, access washrooms, charge devices, enjoy a meal, and connect with support services.
📍 Centre 507
507 Bank Street, Ottawa
