united we stand
United We Stand: the Eastern Ontario Outaouais Regional Council (EOORC) Campaign for Veterans' House Canada was a challenge to congregations and individuals across the Eastern Ontario Outaouais Region to raise funds for the Andy Carswell Building. Churches were encouraged to host their own United We Stand Sunday Service and/or run fundraisers in their local communities. In the end, $115,000 was raised, which was matched with another $115,000 by campaign sponsors Commissionaires Ottawa.
quilts, shawls & afghans
Throughout 2020-2021, United Churches were quilting, knitting and crocheting away in order to ensure each veteran who moves into Veterans' House Canada: the Andy Carswell Building is provided with a welcoming present when they arrive in their units.
