In its 43rd season, The Snowsuit Fund provides nearly 17,000 snowsuits annually to Ottawa children from low-income families for whom winter clothing is an unaffordable luxury. A snowsuit offers more than just warmth—it allows children to play outdoors, promotes health, builds self-esteem, and fosters a sense of inclusion that strengthens families and the wider community. A grassroots organization with no government funding, The Snowsuit Fund relies entirely on the generosity of individuals, groups, and volunteers who give their time, money, and talents to ensure every child in need can stay warm and thrive during Ottawa’s harsh winters.
