At LES AMIS SOLIDAIRES DE GATINEAU, we believe in the power of mutual aid and community solidarity. Founded on December 2, 2023, we are dedicated to promoting individual and collective development while supporting our members through all of life's important moments.
Our approach focuses on Mutual Aid, Community Support, Life Event Assistance, and Social Progress. We organize collective contributions and provide support for both joyful celebrations like marriages and births, as well as challenging times including illness and bereavement.
All our initiatives are designed by and for our Gatineau community members.
We believe in reciprocal assistance where everyone contributes and benefits.
