Our rescue organization is run entirely by volunteers and there are no paid employees. Board members and volunteers provide extensive foster care for rescued cats awaiting permanent homes. We have several continuous fundraising activities but depend heavily on donations to support the cats in care and can only rescue more cats when funds allow. Because we take special cases, our vet bills can be high and we are always in need of donations. We are grateful for any and all help which makes a huge difference to the number of kitty lives we can save. The donations go directly to food, supplies, and medical care for our cats. we also support long term "permanent" senior foster homes and take the cats back when the people can no longer care for them or go into a nursing home.

Roots to Harvest is a not for profit and charitable organization based in Thunder Bay, Ontario. We are about food, about young people, about community, and about doing things in good ways. The first time a person learns where food comes from; the life changing experience of serving those in need; the heat of a greenhouse; the dirt under your fingernails; the feel of a handful of red wiggler compost worms; the first seedlings… This is Roots to Harvest. It's about learning, growing, inquiry & getting dirty. Young people connect with mentors & experts in the community to explore the food system from many different sides – production, distribution, access, culture, and sustainability.

Since 1979, Ottawa’s Harvest House has been helping young men and women battle substance abuse and rebuild their lives. In recovery, getting sober is not enough. Developing work skills and learning work ethics are all key components of the Harvest House philosophy. Harvest House is a therapeutic community with a proven track record of rehabilitation. A therapeutic community is a structured residential environment that is conducive to personal growth as well as recovery. The 12 to 18 month program relies heavily on residents taking an active role in their own recovery and the daily operations of the facility. Jobs are found for each resident based on their skill level and field of interest. Re-establishing self-esteem through the development of personal and work skills increases the success rate of recovery.
