I wish I had taken more photos but I was too busy attempting to recapture my youth by drinking everything in sight (spoiler alert: it was a poor choice, as per usual).

I only do THIS once a year...

Every day, the Ottawa Mission serves up three warm meals for people in need. Yes, it’s a men’s shelter but the meals are for everyone. No one is turned away. I can personally vouch for that. ​

The holidays are an extra special time. More love is shown in a wonderful display of charity, kindness, togetherness, cheer. Things that exist permanently within the Mission’s walls but really shine through during Thanksgiving Service. Guests of the Mission are invited to bring their friends and families and have a proper meal served to them. ​

Volunteers like these big events the most because the warmth kinda stays with you extra long when you’re a part of something so special. It’s difficult to physically become a volunteer on these days because they’re so HOT! But don’t dispair. Help is still needed and you ​can ​be a part of the Mission’s Thanksgiving feast on Monday, October 9th. ​

Rogers Radio has teamed up with the Mission. For TWO DAYS, it’s a Turkey Drop blitz! Listeners are encouraged to bring in food donations (large frozen turkeys)  as it takes 80-90 20lb turkeys to pull off this magical meal. It’s also a fun way to get…

Remember this Toy?

This toy is at least 25 years old. I used to pretend that Mighty Max and Polly Pocket were boyfriend girlfriend.
