Each September, thousands of children in Ottawa return to school without backpacks and proper school supplies. The OCH Foundation’s Pack-a-Sack program purchases supplies and backpacks for children living in Ottawa Community Housing so they can return to school equipped and ready to learn.
Help us provide backpacks filled with school supplies to over 2,000 school students living in OCH communities.
Since 2014, the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation’s Pack-a-Sack program has supported thousands of children, youth and their families living in OCH neighborhoods. We partner with the Caring and Sharing Exchange, a local organization that performs a coordination and distribution service to ensure the even dissemination of school essentials to families in need.
This program is possible thanks to our community partners and sponsors; The Caring and Sharing Exchange, Khalsa Aid Ottawa, Hydro Ottawa, Ottawa Community Housing Corporation, Bridgehead, Moxies, North & Navy, Cantina Gia, HEIN, EnviroCentre, PwC, Giant Tiger, Régimbal Group and The Coalition of Community Houses.
If you would like to organize a Pack-a-Sack fundraiser on behalf of the OCH Foundation, please reach out to us at info@ochfoundation.ca.
Thank you for your support!
