Thank you for another successful event!
Who is NROCRC?
The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre (NROCRC) is a much needed, well-used community service organization that helps vulnerable individuals and families lead better lives. NROCRC is non-profit charitable organization and our services and programs are free.
The community our agency serves is large, diverse and mobile. Immigrant families, families new to the area, youth, and a growing seniors population, present a wide variety of needs. NROCRC supports the largest population-over 200,000 people-and serves the largest physical territory of all of Ottawa's community resource centres.
What is Shine a Light?
This is NROCRC’s single-largest annual fundraiser in support of our community programs and services. The volunteer, staff, and board member run event features an inspiring guest speaker, a delicious buffet dinner, live entertainment, dancing, and a fantastic selection of packages through our live and silent auctions.
Each year, more than 200 supporters from community-minded businesses and organizations, politicians, and local leaders, come out for a fun night to raise awareness of our programs that benefit our amazing community. They also work to raise the profile of NROCRC and the vital services that we offer.
Funds raised directly support our community programs that serve adults, youth, children, seniors and newcomers to Canada.
