Our activities

In partnership with Centraide Outaouais, the "Retour en classe" or "Magasin-partage" program provides children from low-income families with school supplies at reduced prices. The aim is to ensure that these children start the year with new tools and supplies, just like their peers. Parents can benefit from discounts of up to 75%.

Parents register their children either online or directly at the office, and a specific list of supplies is prepared and sent to the supplier: Échelle du monde. Once received, appointments are made for distribution to parents.

The "Snow suit" program, in collaboration with Centraide Outaouais, provides warm coats for children from low-income families in Gatineau, including newcomers.

It's a helping hand to make sure that all the little ones are warm and cozy over the winter, without costing parents a fortune. The process is simple: you sign up between August and September, then pick up your outfit between October and November.

"Nobody's Perfect" is a two-part program: professional and parental. The first, covering the behavior, body, development, and safety modules, helps parents strengthen their skills to better look after their children's health. The second, for parents with children aged five and under, enables parents to share experiences and advice, thus building trust and mutual support.

It's a response to the needs of young, single-parent, isolated parents, or those with little schooling. Our aim? To make every parent more capable, confident, and supported in their role.

The Personal, Family and Community Assistance Program (PAPFC2) is designed to help children aged 0 to 12 and their parents in precarious situations (social, family, economic and cultural poverty) who are experiencing significant difficulties integrating into the community. Designed for families facing many challenges, it offers activities and services to strengthen family well-being and community integration.

The aim is to improve parents' psychological readiness to deal with their children, and to act responsibly and sensitively towards their children's needs. After several meetings and reports, families emerge stronger, more responsible, and more connected.

Note: Training is offered only to people referred by CISSSO..

A coffee meeting is much more than a simple gathering. It's a time when people get together to talk about anything and everything, break their isolation, and share their stories. Participants not only can learn about each other, but also to exchange ideas on solutions to concerns.

With an adapted space and supervised discussions, the aim is to restore hope, value differences, and offer support and confidence, thus promoting better social integration.

Knitting is a real means of connection for wool enthusiasts. Indeed, these knitting workshops are not just about creating, but also about breaking down isolation by enabling participants to share with one another.

The exchanges at these gatherings provide an opportunity to socialize, stimulate the mind and perfect knitting techniques. In a room specially designed to meet the needs of each participant, discussions are supervised to ensure an enriching experience for all.

The homework help project aims to offer support to children with learning difficulties or who receive little help at home. It aims to build self-confidence in children with learning difficulties, to give them a renewed taste for learning, and to support parents in their children's learning. We help them to complete their homework, while helping them to understand the concepts taught in class that have not been integrated.

In collaboration with the Centre d'Action Bénévole de Gatineau, we offer a tax assistance service for low-income earners. This service offers the possibility of filing tax returns at a reduced cost, especially for those without access to computers.

For a fee of $20, we verify and forward documents for processing, while ensuring a submission that complies with government standards to the satisfaction of our users.
