Meaningful Collection for Lasting Impact.
Since 1998, Fondation La Collecte has been supporting local youth through donations of clothing, shoes and textiles.
The proceeds generated are donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal to help fund their youth mentoring programs.
tonnes of clothing
are thrown away every year in Quebec, representing an average of 24 kg per person.
95%
of these clothes can be reused.
Thanks to donations collected by Fondation La Collecte, more than
tonnes of materials
have been diverted from landfill.
A simple gesture that makes a real difference for the environment and the community.
