🌈 Happy Capital Pride!

This week and always, we celebrate the contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and reaffirm our commitment to supporting those disproportionately affected by homelessness, poverty, and social isolation. Together, we can build a community where everyone belongs.

We are looking forward to joining the Capital Pride Street Festival this Saturday, August 29 at 12:00pm along Bank Street. Stop by our table, learn more about our work, and celebrate Pride with us. 🏳️‍🌈

Many visitors to our St Luke's Table program live in apartments or rooming houses. While they have a roof over their heads, the rising cost of living often means that essential household items, such as toilet paper, are simply out of reach.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and community groups, we do our best to keep these everyday necessities available for those who need them.

When St. Matthew's Anglican Church in the Glebe, Ottawa learned of this need, their parish came together in an incredible way, collecting 316 rolls of toilet paper to support our participants!

We are truly in awe of this generosity and grateful for the compassion shown by the St. Matthew's community. Thank you for helping ensure that our neighbours have access to basic essentials and are reminded that they are cared for. ❤️

Centre 454 provides essential support to some of our city's most vulnerable residents. With growing pressures on Ottawa's health and social service system, more time is needed to ensure a safe and stable relocation.

Add your voice today and send a letter to City officials calling for an extension to the January 2027 deadline.

We have a confession: we love it when people ask, “What do you need most?”

Usually, we have a long list of essentials to share. But thanks to the incredible support of our community, donors, and parish partners, that list is much shorter these days. 🎉

Right now, there is one item we cannot keep on the shelves:

🩲NEW UNDERWEAR - women's and men's in all sizes

It is not the most glamorous donation, but it is one of the most impactful. Having access to clean, new underwear provides comfort, dignity, and confidence, and it is something many of us take for granted.

If you, your parish, workplace, or community group would like to help, donations can be dropped off at The Well (154 Somerset St. W.) during the week from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Donated items will be distributed across our locations and given directly to community members who need it most.

Let us do the shopping! Visit our donation page to give now

As many of you know, Centre 454 is preparing for an important transition as we relocate to a new home. While this a significant change, one thing stays the same: our commitment to creating a welcoming community for people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and isolation.

This year, we're inviting you to join us for Ride for Refuge, a chance to come together in solidarity, support, and advocacy for our neighbours and for the future of Centre 454.

Every dollar raised helps ensure that, throughout this period and beyond, Centre 454 can continue offering meals, community, support, and a place of belonging for our neighbours experiencing poverty, homelessness, and isolation.

🚶 Walk. 🚴 Ride. ❤️ Fundraise.

Join our team, start your own, or make a donation in support of Centre 454. Together, we can help build the next chapter of this vital community hub and ensure that every person who walks through our doors continues to find dignity, connection, and hope.
