This week is National Addictions Awareness Week — November 16–22.
This week invites us to pause, to learn, and to act on one of the most pressing challenges in our communities: addiction.

Addiction affects more lives than we often realize — impacting individuals, families, and whole communities.
➡️ Approximately 21% of Canadians will experience an addiction in their lifetime.
➡️ Each year, 4.1% of Canadians report substance-related harm in the past 12 months.

At Harvest House, we’re committed to hope, healing, and second chances. Your support doesn’t just fund programs — it restores dignity, rebuilds relationships, and gives men a future.

💛 Help make this week count. Donate today and invest in recovery that lasts: https://harvesthouse.org/?bbFormId=5b8b6b39-8d1d-498b-a9e6-b7dabfdf7776

It’s World Kindness Day.

At Harvest House, kindness is more than an act — it’s a way of life. Every meal shared, every encouraging word, every helping hand extended reminds our residents that change is possible when people care.

Recovery begins with compassion — the kindness of a donor, a volunteer, a mentor, or a friend who believes in second chances.

Today, we’re celebrating all those who choose kindness — because every act of love, no matter how small, can change a life.

Be kind. Be generous. Be the reason someone believes in hope again.

This Remembrance Day, we honour our veterans — and we remember the battles that many continue to face.

Research shows that Canadian veterans experience higher rates of mental health disorders and substance use than the general population. For example, over 50 % of surveyed veterans reported at least one mental disorder in their lifetimes.

At Harvest House, we’ve seen firsthand how service-related trauma, addiction, and isolation often go hand in hand.

Recovery is more than clean time — it’s rebuilding identity, restoring purpose, and healing wounds unseen.

On this Remembrance Day, we stand with men who served, who struggle, and who are finding hope through faith, structure, and community.

💛 You are not alone. Your service is remembered. Your healing matters.

“You kinda make that one mistake, and all it takes is one as an alcoholic or a drug addict, and then you are back into the cycle.”

- Brian Orwin, recent graduate of Harvest House program.

November can feel heavy.
The days get shorter, the air colder, and for many — especially those battling addiction — the darkness feels even closer.

At Harvest House, this season reminds us why community matters most. Every warm meal, every moment of encouragement, and every act of faith helps light the way for men rebuilding their lives.

Your support brings hope when it’s needed most. It brings:
🌙 A place to rest.
🍽️ A meal to share.
🙏 A reason to keep going.

As the nights grow longer, you can help make sure no man walks through the darkness alone.

🌟 Voices from the VIP Program 🌟

At Harvest House, our VIP program reaches high school classrooms with real stories of addiction and recovery. The goal? To inspire students, spark conversations, and encourage wise choices.

Here’s what students and teachers are saying:
💬 “It sends an important message to students about the dangers of drugs and supporting people in the community.”
💬 “The lectures became a deterrent for further drug use.”
💬 “I hope they recover and live happy lives.”

We’re planting seeds of awareness, resilience, and hope — because prevention matters.

Throwback to 1982!

This Ottawa Citizen article tells the story of a big step in Harvest House history — when our home on River Road was created from a former school building. Thanks Jeffrey for sharing it with us!

What started with 15 men moving in, painting walls, and planting gardens has grown into decades of lives rebuilt through faith, structure, and community.

We’re grateful for those early days and the foundation they laid for the recovery work still happening at Harvest House today 💛

Addiction isn’t just about substances — it’s about lives interrupted, families broken, and futures put on pause.

Recovery is about so much more than “getting clean.” It’s about:
🌱 Learning how to live with purpose again
🛠️ Building routines, structure, and responsibility
💬 Restoring broken relationships
🙏 Finding faith and hope in the hardest places
🤝 Creating a community where no one walks alone

At Harvest House, recovery means men aren’t defined by their past — but by the courage it takes to change their future.

Because every life rebuilt isn’t just a win for one man — it’s a win for his children, his family, and his community.

💛 Recovery matters. And together, we can make it possible.

Recovery isn’t something that can be done for you — it has to come from within.
Jude, one of our second-time residents, shares his powerful insight: while the support of others can motivate, true recovery only happens when you decide to do the work yourself.

At Harvest House, we walk alongside men in that decision — offering faith, structure, and community as they rebuild their lives.

💛 Because real change starts with a choice, but it grows in community.
