Making a difference
Supporting Centraide helps the staff and volunteers at 360 organizations in Greater Montreal provide essential services to hundreds of thousands of our most vulnerable fellow citizens. One in seven Montrealers benefit from at least one Centraide agency.
In Concordia’s two campus neighbourhoods, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and downtown, 29 agencies benefit from the United Way/Centraide campaign, from food depots to helping immigrants and seniors, special needs children and the homeless.
