Our story

Since its founding in 1981, the mission of Centre de bénévolat et moisson Laval has been to develop and foster volunteer work and mutual aid in Laval as means of enhancing community well-being throughout the city.

The Centre pursues its mission in four areas:

  • Volunteer development
  • Volunteer support
  • Support for organizations
  • Help for individuals

In addition, it operates a regional food bank designed to meet the needs of community organizations by recovering, processing, and distributing good-quality foodstuffs free of charge. It also helps clients in Laval who experience hardships, mainly by providing them with food assistance.

Together, the many services provided by Centre de bénévolat et moisson Laval meet the needs in the four areas in which the organization is active.
