Resilience Montreal

Resilience Montreal is a community-led project established in 2019 to support the homeless population in the Cabot Square area. It is a wellness center for the most vulnerable and provides a welcoming and safe oasis from the hardships of the streets where people with trauma are honoured, defended and can access services that meet their needs. 

Volunteers will help prepare and serve meals and organize and distribute clothing/hygiene products while keeping the environment clean and safe.

Santropol Roulant

Santropol Roulant is an intergenerational community food hub that grows, prepares and delivers food. In doing so, they create a continuum of engaging services that help build a stronger social fabric and increase food security and social inclusion for Montrealers. 5 days a week, 52 weeks per year, they prepare, package and deliver 100 fresh, homemade meals in 8 areas around the Mount Royal, thanks to thousands of volunteers each year.

Volunteers will help with meal deliveries done by foot, by bike, by bus, and by car across various neighborhoods surrounding Mount-Royal. Meal deliveries are not only an essential service but are also an opportunity to break social isolation among client-members. Whether chatting at the door for 5 minutes or taking half an hour for a visit, meal deliveries are one way to create connections between generations and cultures.
