Cares

Niagara Area Children's Assistance Program is a registered not-for-profit in Niagara. We assist families during holidays, transitions, as well as unfortunate events such as fires, floods, death, etc.
We are 100% volunteer based, with zero paid employees or board members. We are solely run by our incredible community here in Niagara.
2023 was our largest year, with serving over 1400 children and over 700 families within Niagara.

Since being founded in 2010, we have provided assistance to nearly 20,000 children, and will surpass that number by the end of this year.

The mission of the Niagara Falls Community Outreach Program is to alleviate the pain of hunger by providing nutritious meals free of charge to persons in need with dignity and respect, in an atmosphere of acceptance and safety. Our guests are a cross section of society, many of whom face the challenges of unemployment, seasonally based employment, or fixed incomes. Some are dealing with physical, emotional, or mental challenges. Many of our clients are elderly and no longer capable of shopping, preparing and cooking nutritious meals for themselves. Anyone in need is welcome, and may come to be fed with no personal questions asked. Meals are served 7 days a week to 200-300 clients each day. We are a grassroots registered charity who receives no government funding and therefore rely on fundraising activities and the generosity of service groups, businesses, grants and families.

At Beyond the Streets Inc, we are proud to be a 100% volunteer-led not for profit organization dedicated to helping those in need in the city of Welland since 2020. Our team of 11 individuals and over 40 volunteers work tirelessly to provide daily street outreach, offering clothing, food, support, guidance, advocacy and advocacy to those who need it most. We also host community dinners providing non perishables and clothing three times a month to promote a sense of belonging and foster connections within the community.
