Ottawa Innercity Ministries is an awesome organization that is an advocacy group for the poor and the homeless and the vulnerable in Ottawa, Canada's capital city. OIM has been there for me, for many years, when I was in need of a supportive, positive, safe, nurturing environment where I could retreat to create my art. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff and volunteers at OIM!
Here is Ottawa Innercity's stated vision:
"We are a community working towards building a just society where people are valued, shown dignity and respect and are given opportunity to attain a higher quality of life."
Please consider supporting OIM financially or as a volunteer.
Thank you.
