Mobile resources in Strathcona Heights

Thanks to mobile resources, Thursdays are the day when Strathcona Heights residents can access services close to home: books, meals, and fresh food. Here’s the current schedule.

Thursdays from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm – Ottawa Public Library Bookmobile stops at 731 Chapel Street in Strathcona Heights, bringing books, movies and more. You can also renew your library card.

Thursdays from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm  —  The Ottawa Mission Food Truck parks at 731 A Chapel, at the corner of Wiggins, and distributes free hot meals to go. This is a partnership of the Mission, the Sandy Hill CHC / CSC Côte-de-Sable and the Parent Resource Centre/Centre de ressources pour parents.

Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm  —  Goodfood on the Move brings residents’ produce orders to 731 Chapel for pick up. Orders must be purchased online ahead of time between 9:00 am Wednesday and 9:00 am Monday at https://www.marketmobileottawa.com/locations. There is a wide variety of fruits and vegetables available, including some local and some organic produce, at reasonable prices.

In addition, every second Tuesday from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, there is a baby cupboard distributing baby food and diapers open at the back door of 300 Wiggins Private. Next dates are June 15 and June 29. Bring a health card for each child and proof of address in Strathcona Heights.
