OCISO - Run for a New Start

For the 7th year running, the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO) is launching our “Run for a New Start” fundraising campaign.  

These past 2 years, we have all been feeling the impact of COVID-19 on our physical and mental health. For newcomers to Canada, the stress, financial loss, danger and isolation during the pandemic have been overwhelming.   

The demand for OCISO’s counselling services and other forms of support has increased significantly. The Counselling Program needs our support to carry out their critical work with some of the most vulnerable people in our community, including women and youth.

Please help our dedicated team of volunteers reach our goal of $13,000 to support OCISO’s Counselling Program. 

Make a donation today and ensure that refugees and immigrants feel welcomed and supported in our city.  

NB: an official tax receipt will be automatically issued for all donations of $10 or more.
