On a monthly basis, you may purchase Loblaws, Metro and Farm Boy Gift cards to raise funds for refugee housing through the Ottawa Mennonite Refugee Association. The grocery store partners pay OMRA between 4% and 5% of the value of the grocery cards. OMRA uses the funds to subsidize rents for refugee housing. Here is a link to the OMRA Update 2024. Here is a link to the Annual Report for 2023 for the OMRA Shelter Corporation. Here is the link to the website: omraottawa.org
