Register your Non-Profit Organization for Community Action Days!

By volunteering your time and a team of 5 or more people from your workplace, or any group of dedicated friends or family, you will experience a new level of community engagement with a local organization that needs a helping hand. By helping out, you can make a difference in your community.

QUESTIONS? If you are a volunteer who wishes to put a team together and participate in a Community Action Days project and you have any questions or concerns, please contact Elizabeth Cleland (United Way Ottawa) at cad@unitedwayottawa.ca, or call 613-683-3860

We provide the person power; you provide the project. The opportunities are endless: entertaining clients, gardening, sorting clothing/food donations, reading to children/seniors, providing IT support, conducting market research, planning an event, offering administrative help, cooking or serving food to clients ... you name it!
