HOW YOU CAN HELP KIDS IN OTTAWA

The Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa (CAFO) is a children’s charity that helps support children, youth and families involved with children’s aid.

Parents and caregivers supported by The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) often face mental health challenges, poverty, or addiction, all of which can impact their ability to care for their children.

Your donations give access to education, enrichment, and essential opportunities to children and youth whose families need extra support.

Youth Transition

Entering foster care and leaving foster care are two stressful times in a child’s life. Our Foundation tries to make them as comfortable and prepared as possible to tackle these momentous life changes.

Enrichment

For some families, summertime and the holiday season are not happy times. Camp for Kids and the Holiday Gift Program exist to try and change that.
