WE CAN'T KEEP UP WITHOUT YOUR HELP
What is Winter Wear?
It's more than just clothing; it's a lifeline. Winter Wear is about providing warmth and hope to those facing the harsh realities of Ottawa's coldest nights with no place to call home. Every Thursday (in season) we open our doors from 12:30-2:30 and invite our Friends in to browse, try on and take away the winter clothing they so desperately need to get through our brutal winter. After "shopping", they are invited to stay a little while and enjoy a hot chocolate, cookie and conversation with our compassionate volunteers. This year, line-ups at the door have become particularly long ...
Why Winter Wear Matters:
​
Winter in Ottawa has arrived. Record numbers are already at our doors, facing the biting cold with no alternatives, no family, and no support. Ottawa Innercity Ministries (OIM) is stepping up to ensure everyone is dressed for our climate.
