Our Programs

The Caring and Sharing Exchange currently runs the following programs. Find out how each of them helps the Ottawa community!

	The Christmas Exchange Program provides redeemable gift certificates or food hampers to individuals and families who are verifiably in a time of need during the holidays.
	The Sharing in Student Success Program provides redeemable gift certificates to low-income families to help with the cost of their children's required school essentials such as backpacks, lunchboxes, shoes, snacks and much more.
	The Co-ordination Service is the backbone of the organization! We work with approximately 300 agencies in the city to ensure that no one in need is forgotten and that both school and Christmas assistance is distributed evenly and fairly within the community. We do this through the help of duplication checks and appropriate distribution coordination.
