? How does
work?

Bringing in your donations is quick and easy.

Each donation gives you access to a recognition system:

accumulation of stamps
in-store discount
possibility of obtaining a bouquet of flowers

This model transforms a simple gesture into a rewarding and engaging experience.

A concrete impact

The donations collected contribute directly to the actions of the La Collecte Foundation.

They support local initiatives, promote the circular economy and finance projects with a social impact.

Part of these activities contributes to the mentoring programs of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal.

Giving also means actively participating in the community.

Local involvement

The Centre de dons de Lorraine is firmly rooted in its community, and collaborates with a number of local players.

We work with :

local schools
the City of Lorraine
local shops

For example, we are developing initiatives in collaboration with our neighbor Idolem Yoga Chaud, to strengthen the links between business and community.
