OMRA
Shelter Alternatives Corporation works
with the Refugee Assistance Program of Ottawa Mennonite Church
and other refugee sponsorship groups to provide safe, clean, affordable,
transitional housing for refugees coming to settle in Ottawa.
Priority is given to women at risk.
OMRA is run
entirely on a volunteer basis and is always looking for groups
or individuals willing to donate their time, money, expertise
or land to help us in our efforts.
Much of our fundraising at this time is done through a grocery
card program whereby Loblaws &/or Loeb gift cards can be purchased
with a percentage of the face value going to fund OMRA's projects.
If you or your organization would be interested in pursuing this,
please let us know.
OMRA would also love to hear from you with input and suggestions.
Tell us about what you or your group is doing in the area of refugee
assistance and housing or how you can help.
