Social & Community Services Organizations in Kingston

Outreach St. George’s Kingston (OSGK) was established in 1997 as an independent, non-profit and secular organization to:

- co-ordinate resources to provide food and clothing to the poor, and
- extend financial support to charitable agencies that serve children and/or abused women in the City of Kingston.

The Lunch Program has been its principal activity in recent years, but OSGK has also coordinated the financial support for a refugee family that settled in Kingston in 2003.

Repair Cafe Kingston is a neighbourhood initiative, hosted by the Kingston Unitarian Fellowship, that promotes repair as an alternative to tossing things out. We meet on the second Sunday of the month, from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m., at 206 Concession Street (Unitarian Place), where our volunteer "fixers" will help you diagnose and repair your broken items.  We have other volunteer opportunities for everything from helping with set-up to community outreach.

Our Club is part of a global network that endeavors to build a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

We value the uniqueness of every individual regardless of age, size, ability, race, ethnicity, faith, socio-economic status, immigration status, sexual orientation, and gender expression and identity. CK Rotary has a long history of responding to the needs of our community by awarding grants and providing volunteer service to other charitable organizations in the greater Kingston area that share our goals and core values. We welcome individuals who are looking for opportunities to improve our community today while investing in a better future for the generation of tomorrow. We believe that caring for and serving others is the best way to live because it not only changes the lives of others, but also changes our own.
