Make a donation!
With growing capacity also come recurring expenses. While goodwill and love for the environment grows on trees, money for things like insurance does not. Please consider making a donation to help sustain CAFES.
Please note that CAFES is a non-profit but not a registered charity. You will receive a receipt for your kind donation but it is not a charitable donation receipt for tax purposes.
Participate in the CAFES Caucus meetings
Look for notices and RSVP links for Caucus meetings in the latest CAFES Bulletin.
Volunteer
The volunteer situation at CAFES is "pretzeled". We love community volunteers but don't have a volunteer coordinator capacity to mentor, support or organize them awfully well. If you have an idea about how you would like to volunteer for CAFES, or would like to staff the CAFES table at community events please write to us at info@cafesottawa.ca.
A community associations and citizens organizations are groups of residents who advocate for positive change in their neighbourhood. Volunteers work together in areas such as anti-racism, environmentalism, neighbourhood security, zoning, the arts, etc.. Community Associations work closely with their city councillor to advocate for improvements in their neighborhoods. Getting involved with your CA is a great way to jump into meaningful activism while creating new friendships in your neighbourhood.
