Community Involvement

Since its founding over 30 years ago, the Ottawa Artisans Guild has believed in supporting our local community.

Admittance to our markets is free but we request donations of non-perishable foodstuffs or cash which we then deliver to the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard. In the past five years we have collected more than 1000 boxes of food and $10000

As well, our members donate items which they have made and which are then auctioned off at two of our meetings. The proceeds from each auction is donated to a local charity selected by the members prior to the meeting.

Some of the organizations we have assisted are:
          CHEO
          Children’s Wish Foundation
          Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind
          Juvenile Diabetes Foundation
          The Mission
          CDS Military Families Fund
          Minwashin Lodge
          Saint Vincent Hospital Foundation
          Max Keeping Foundation
          Candlelighters
          The Christmas Exchange
          Ottawa Food Bank
          Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard
          My City Artisans
