Operating in the spirit of Christ since 1979, Harvest House serves men living with addiction and works to help them achieve lasting sobriety and return to their communities.
At Harvest House, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support to individuals struggling with addiction. Our holistic approach not only addresses substance abuse, but also focuses on mental health, life skills development, and community reintegration. We believe in empowering our residents with the tools they need to achieve lasting recovery and lead fulfilling lives. Through our various programs and services, we strive to create a supportive environment that fosters growth and healing.
Your gift will change the lives of those touched by addiction. Not just the men in the program, but also their families and loved ones who want nothing more than to have their son, brother, husband or father back in their lives in a meaningful and positive way.
A great gift for the upcoming holiday season, birthday or any occasion. Our beautiful selection of 16-month wall calendars for 2026, make great additions to any room.

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.
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.

“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.
Thank You, Harvest House Family 💛
Every meal shared, every bed provided, every life rebuilt — it all happens because of YOU.
To everyone who has donated, volunteered, prayed, and stood beside us: thank you. Your generosity and support fuel the work of recovery and make second chances possible.
At Harvest House, we see miracles every day — men finding hope, families being restored, and futures rewritten. None of it could happen without a community that believes change is worth fighting for.
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’re building a legacy of hope, healing, and transformation 🙏

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 💛

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.
September is National Recovery Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, encourage healing, and break down stigma.
📊 Did you know about ~21% of Canadians will experience an addiction in their lifetime? Addiction doesn’t discriminate.
At Harvest House, recovery isn’t just a concept — it’s a lived reality. We see men rebuild their lives through faith, structure, and community every day.
This month, let’s:
✅ Share stories of recovery
✅ Encourage those still struggling to reach out
✅ Remind everyone that help is possible
You’re not alone. Hope is real.

“I was dropped off at Harvest House not knowing what to expect. I had spent 20 years of my life suffering from addiction, committing crime, being in and out of jail, and destroying all relationships I had. I was broken.
Going through the program wasn’t easy — I had to face myself, learn new coping mechanisms, and understand the importance of community, structure, and accountability. I learned how to be a father, a husband, a friend, and to build a work ethic that has carried me through life.
Most importantly, I found faith in Christ, and with it, the strength to change. Today, I have a beautiful wife and children, and I’m proud to serve others through Firebrand Recovery Community. None of this would have been possible without Harvest House.”
— Corey Clouthier, Graduate of Harvest House
🙌 Corey’s story is a reminder that no one is too far gone. With faith, support, and perseverance, lives can be rebuilt and families restored.
When you support Harvest House, you help men like Corey find freedom, hope, and a future.
