Welcome to Centre 454

Centre 454 provides drop-in support services and social recreational activities for individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

We offer a wide range of services to assist homeless men, women and their children to transform their lives with respect and dignity. Since 1954, Centre 454 has been working closely with the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, the municipal, provincial and federal governments, local businesses, community and church groups, donors and volunteers.

Although Centre 454 provides support to an increasing number of people, the demand far outweighs the support available. Without Centre 454, many would be spending their days on the street or in very unsafe conditions.

There are many ways you can be a part of the Centre 454 community. Browse through our web site to learn more!

“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. “

It is with great appreciation that Centre 454 acknowledges:

:: Louisa Lambregts for the design and set-up of this website, and

:: Bev Jensen for logistics, process and website content.

Without these two women, this website would still be a dream.
