Out of the Cold (Centre 120)

Community Meals with our Out of the Cold ministry are available at Knox every Saturday afternoon from November through April.   

• Meals will be served from 4 to 5 pm.

• As available, take-out meals will be distributed after 5 pm. 

The Out of the Cold (Centre 120) program was initiated by Knox Presbyterian Church in 1995. The purpose of the program is to invite neighbours in need from our community to a hot meal each Saturday night during the cold months from November until April.  Anywhere between 80 and 150 people are served each week.  

 The program involves volunteers who come from within the congregation, other area communities of faith, through the Centretown Community Association, and the wider Ottawa community. Our funds come from donations by Knox members and other churches, organizations, retailers and generous individuals, supplemented with fundraising events.
