Giving Back to Our Communities

At Auclair, we're all about supporting our local communities and playing a positive role.

We take care of our people and understand the challenges of facing winter without the right gear. Through partnerships with organizations like Dans La Rue, Maison Du Père, La Porte Ouverte, We Can Ski, and others, we've donated gloves and funds for warmth. Our commitment to community giving runs deep, and we're proud to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Maison Nouvel Horizon

Maison Horizon is an association dedicated to aiding individuals in need. With the unwavering dedication of passionate volunteers and sponsors, they provide essential products, financial assistance, and food to those who require it most. Their mission extends beyond financial support; they also offer valuable moral support to help individuals facing challenging life phases emerge even stronger.

OuiCanSki

They organize enjoyable days to introduce these new Canadians to the fun of winter, teaching them popular winter sports such as downhill skiing, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. With the support of Auclair, each participant at OuiCanSki events receives a pair of mittens or gloves, ensuring everyone's hands stay warm and comfortable.

La Porte Ouverte

La Porte Ouverte is a center that provides services to homeless individuals and low-income people in downtown Montreal. The center offers food and clothing, laundry services, daytime shelter, counseling, referrals to mental health and addiction professionals, and employment assistance. La Porte Ouverte also helps its clients access medical assistance and provides support for addressing issues related to gambling, alcohol, or substance addiction.

Mères avec pouvoir

The organization particularly supports mothers with children from birth to five years old. Over the past three years, we have consistently donated products to the mothers and children in the program, ensuring they remain warm throughout the winter.

But that's just the beginning.

If you believe we can support your organization, or if you have a project in mind that Auclair could contribute to, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're always open to exploring new opportunities to make winter a blessing for more people.
