What we offer

Aid and Assist strives to help you support yourself and your networks by offering affordable and accessible resources to the greater Ottawa community.

Our Borrow a First Aid Kit service provides access to high‑quality medical supplies, assembled into a variety of ready‑to‑use kits, at minimal cost.

Mission
& Values

Our mission is to provide you with the tools you need to better support your community. We define “tools” as equipment, education, and resources. We've launched with the Borrow a First Aid Kit service as a first step to achieving this vision!

We are built on the belief that the vast majority of people want to help those around us when they need it; we might just not have the tools we need to do that well. That's where we can help. By increasing the number of people prepared to respond during or immediately after an incident, we can limit its severity and reduce impacted individuals’ recovery times.

Aid and Assist is committed to community wellbeing through respect, kindness, mutual support, and the use of evidence-based practices. We are dedicated to providing prompt, responsive, and high-quality service to prepare you to support your community.

Meet our team

Aid and Assist is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers. Our team is led by a volunteer Board of Directors which guides the organization while concurrently leading a portion of its operations. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to connect!
