About The Angels Foundation
The Angels Foundation exists to welcome newcomers to Canada with dignity, practical support and genuine community. Since our founding, we have grown from a small group of volunteers into a trusted settlement and community organization serving hundreds of families across Ottawa.
A community-based settlement organization
The Angels Foundation is dedicated to supporting and empowering refugees and immigrants as they navigate the journey of settling into their new communities. We focus on language training, education, and employment opportunities — while ensuring access to culturally familiar meals and activities that help ease the transition and foster a sense of belonging.
- Community-based support rooted in Ottawa, serving newcomers across the region.
- 400+ new immigrants welcomed and supported since March 2024.
- Twice-monthly cultural gatherings that turn strangers into neighbours.
Five ways we support newcomers
From the first meal to the first paycheck, our programs are built around what newcomers actually need to feel settled and supported in Canada.

Translation Services
We provide reliable translation and interpretation services to ensure individuals and families can confidently access healthcare, education, legal, and community services.
Poverty Relief
We assist individuals and families experiencing financial hardship by providing food support, essential household items, community resource referrals, and emergency assistance that promotes dignity and well-being.
