A few times a year, United Way, in partnership with Ottawa Community Housing, hosts Community Action Days. These day-long events connect volunteers from Ottawa workplaces with the chance to make our city a better place for everyone.
Past Community Action Days have brought volunteers to Ottawa Community Housing neighbourhoods to clear brush, paint fences and walls, plant gardens, and much more.
