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.
Support our Walk For The Centre 2024 to raise funds for our Centretown Community Food Centre. For more information on the event please visit www.centretownchurches.org/walkathon/

Located at 370 Catherine Street in Ottawa, the Centretown Community Food Centre is here for our neighbours in Centretown who need food.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Important announcement!⚡️⚡️⚡️
Due to a large demonstration happening near City Hall on October 6th, we are no longer able to use the premises as our meeting place to start off our Walk For The Centre to raise funds for Centretown Community Food Centre.
We are very grateful to our CCSAC member church, Church of the Ascension - Ottawa for graciously agreeing to host us for the event. It’s a beautiful church and we look forward to having the walkathon start from there. There is plenty of parking in the public schools around the church that we can use, so those driving in should be able to find a space. Dogs are not allowed inside the church (except service dogs) so we ask that your four-legged friends remain outside with a friend.
We will be walking along Queen Elizabeth Drive as planned, so do join us for a glorious Fall walk to help our neighbours in need.
