Check out CareMongering-Ott: Ottawa Community Response to COVID19 Facebook group.
The goal of this group is to organize the local community on the grassroots level to ensure vulnerable community members have access to food, housing, healthcare, and other necessities. It is also for the redistribution of resources in the case that stockpiling prevents people from accessing basics. You can also post requests for aid/support here. Please share any opportunities/events that may be helpful to support community members!
1) No Hate/Bigotry of Any Kind Safety is of utmost importance to us. No racism, sexism, transphobia, classism, ableism, or bigotry of any kind. We ask you refrain from judgement based on economic circumstance and act with empathy. Moderators reserve the right to ban on the basis of bigotry.
2) Stay on topic All kinds of mutual aid and support posts are welcome in addition to COVID-19 specific stuff. Posting requests for personal aid is okay. Updates on relevant events/community resources is okay. Please don’t use this group for other purposes.
3) Respect Everyone’s Privacy If you are dropping off supplies to a location please keep the address and any information pertaining to the individual private. We are acting on a trust-based system.
We acknowledge that this group is operating on the traditional unceded and unsurrended Algonquin Anishinaabe territory
