About Us

The Foundation’s mission is to improve the needs of vulnerable CLSC clients in the West Island by funding Health and Social well-being requests not covered by the public system nor other charities. We are a last resort option available to the CLSC Professionals. The help is extended once first line workers at both CLSC have assessed the requests and confirmed that all other resources have been exhausted.

The Foundation aims to increase the visibility of the physical and mental health services offered by both CLSCs and provide help in the following areas:

• Assistance to the elderly or to those facing a loss of autonomy
• Intellectually challenged children and autism spectrum disorder
• Early childhood development (0 to 5)
• Youth in difficulty
• Mental health and dependence
• Routine nursing care
• Perinatality

The Foundation is entirely managed by volunteers. The administration fees are therefore minimal with over 95% of the donations benefitting the needy members of the West-Island community.
