Ability First Ottawa is an amazing local organization that helps people with disabilities in the community. They graciously gifted us 100 cloth sewn headbands, which help alleviate the pressure put on our heads from wearing masks and shields all day. Thank you so much, we appreciate your support!

For Valentine's Day yesterday, Emma Weller from Emma's Winter Bundles dropped off nearly 200 care packages for our clients here at @sghottawa! These packages were made with love and full of snacks and other essential items. Thank you so much for your ongoing support!

Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what -Maya Angelou. Happy Family Day from Shepherds of Good Hope. Family, for many, is their friends and communities. In these tough times, we hope that you feel loved and supported by those who you define as family and have a safe and loving Family Day.

Happy Valentine's Day from Shepherds of Good Hope! We hope your day is filled with love

Alan Wang (person on the right in the photo) started volunteering in Shepherds of Good Hope's soup kitchen during COVID-19. He has a message he'd like to share with everyone on Remembrance Day. "As a member of 33 Service Battalion in the Canadian Armed Forces, I have been volunteering my time at Shepherd of Good Hope and Soldiers Helping Soldiers. November 11th will be an important time for all soldiers and service members to come together and remember the sacrifices their p...eers have made and continue to make. At this time, it is important for us to acknowledge the fact that there are still many homeless veterans across Canada who require assistance. This will be an important moment for us to continue our mission to provide and support our community, and repay our gratitude to those veterans who are struggling on a day-to-day basis. I appreciate everything that Soldiers Helping Soldiers Ottawa chapter is doing. They have not only been reaching out to those veterans who require assistance, but also bridging their bond with Shepherd of Good Hope by connecting veterans to their services." See more
