The 2018 Montreal Walks for Mental Health took place on October 14th. It was a beautiful day and an inspiring event. L’Abri en Ville would like to thank all those who participated either through financial support or by walking to help increase public awareness about mental health and to help eliminate stigma. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

L’Abri en Ville’s 2018 Annual Citrus Fundraising Campaign is now underway, and we are taking orders for Indian River Florida fruit. If you already have a L’Abri citrus agent, your agent should be contacting you this month to take your order.  You may also place an order by contacting the L’Abri en Ville office at 514 932-2199 or info@labrienville.org. By purchasing the delicious oranges or grapefruits, and/or by volunteering to help out before or during the two day event, your time, efforts and financial support help L’Abri fulfil its mission of providing supportive housing and community to its residents.

House meetings and individual meetings, weekly and as needed, help to provide stability for the person living with a mental illness. Sixty plus volunteers, many who have been with L’Abri since its inception 27 years ago, continue to provide the social connection and activities such as family or friends might do. Thanks to all of you for supporting L’Abri en Ville in its mission to help those living with a major mental illness. Your generosity is very much appreciated.
