Programs That Nourish, Support, and Inspire
Serving Ottawa with Purpose and Care

In Ottawa, Lionhearts is building a network of programs designed to meet real needs in our community. From recovering surplus food and household goods, to supporting local agencies and reducing waste, our work is about more than logistics-it's about dignity, sustainability, and compassion in action.

While our Food and Household Good Recovery Program is already making a powerful impact, we're excited to see more initiatives take root here in the capital. Each program is shaped by Ottawa's unique needs, with the same goal at heart: to lift up individuals and families while strengthening the community we share.

Explore the programs making a difference today-and the ones we're working to bring to life in the months ahead.
