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.
