Care Kit Program
We are so thankful for your generosity and willingness to volunteer with us. We have an easy-to-use and impactful program that you and your group can use to contribute to in a meaningful, fun, engaging and easy way! Through our partnership with Kits For a Cause you can host your own kit packing event and pack Kits full of our most needed supplies. This is the perfect option for school groups, corporate volunteers, faith-based organizations and groups of friends! This activity can be completely customized to whenever and wherever fits best for you.
At Matthew House Ottawa, we aim to establish connected, safe, healthy, and dignified homes within our community for marginalized populations. The Care Kit Program encourages corporate and volunteer groups to pack essential “care kits” for the individuals we support.

Mission
Matthew House Ottawa is a faith-based, volunteer-driven, charitable organization that helps Ottawa’s marginalised population to establish connected, safe, healthy, and dignified homes within our community. We do this by:
Providing shelter, food and refugee settlement assistance, including volunteer opportunities, in a family atmosphere to refugee claimants so that they may begin their journey to independence as members in Canadian society; and,
Distributing quality used furniture and household goods to Ottawa’s marginalised population
