Our Partners
François Bergeron – Directeur général
CDC Centre-Sud
"Cet organisme est actuellement un maillon essentiel dans la réponse collective alimentaire que les organismes communautaires construisent face à cette crise."
Karina Naim – Directrice Générale
SPORTIRA 1998
"Ce projet de cœur est maintenant devenu très grand et comme toute entreprise ou organisme qui croît rapidement, elle fait face à des défis et croissance. Les sans-abris les connaissent et comptent sur eux semaine après semaine. C’est maintenant à notre tour de les soutenir et de leur donner les outils nécessaires pour continuer leur excellent travail. Le potentiel de L’Avenue du Bien-Être est inarrêtable en raison du leadership de Steel et de son entourage. Sportira et moi personnellement allons être là à leurs côtés et on espère que leur travail continue pour aider non seulement nos sans abris mais pour amener un sens du devoir à nos jeunes."
Kassandra Gervasi – Assistant Branch Manager
RBC
"Being the community leader for the RBC Van Horne and Darlington branch means finding outstanding organizations who share RBC’s values and turning this common vision into a partnership. Welfare Avenue is certainly one of them, and having the chance to not only meet those who’ve dedicated their time to help Montréal’s unhoused population, but to actually see the importance in their work makes us realize how essential giving back truly is."
