BECAUSE OF YOU
We were able to transform some of our busiest areas, like our Saint-Laurent Campus cafeteria and
Patricia Mackenzie Pavilion dining room, into warm, inviting and contemporary spaces for our clients.
EATING WITH DIGNITY AT OUR SAINT-LAURENT CAMPUS
Jean Coutu and his family are no strangers to the Old Brewery Mission. Since 2002, their commitment to improving
the lives of Montreal’s homeless women and men has resulted in some profound changes at the Mission, including the
way many of our services are carried out. Thanks to their vision and generosity, we were able to completely renovate
our kitchen, café and dining area. Clients can now enjoy leisurely meals in an airy, bright and inviting space.
We also owe special thanks to the architectural firm Architem for designing the space, as well as to Anbec for carrying
out the renovations at our Saint-Laurent Campus.
A PLENTIFUL PLATE
In 2016-2017, Moisson Montréal helped us to provide
more than 235,000 healthy, varied meals to our clients by
donating 58,575 kilograms of food to the Mission. Their
contribution represents a value of $510,556.
We also want to thank our many other key partners and
donors for enabling us to relieve hunger and carry out our
life-saving work in a responsible, sustainable way.
DID YOU KNOW?
This space is also home to Galerie Carlos, an initiative of
Carlos Anglarill, counsellor at the Mission since 2005 and the
gallery’s first curator at its inception in 2009. Every six weeks,
the cafeteria walls are lined with original artwork that can

We were able to improve access to affordable, permanent housing options for our city’s
homeless men and women. Today, we have 313 housing units throughout Montreal—100

PARISE’S STORY
ADAPTED MENTAL HEALTH CARE
FOR HOMELESS WOMEN
For homeless women suffering from severe
mental illness and who have been stuck in the
revolving door of emergency shelters for years—
or even decades—PRISM is a veritable godsend.
This year, 48 homeless women with persistent,
serious mental health problems benefitted
from specialized services delivered by a
multidisciplinary team of professionals, onsite at
our Patricia Mackenzie Pavilion.
Of these women, 35 successfully moved on to
stable housing in the community.
We wish to thank the Echo Foundation for its
$500,000 leadership gift to our Major Fundraising
Campaign, which has a direct impact on the
mental and physical well-being of homeless
women in Montreal.

ends in 2019, either by staying in their current

another one. The alternative—returning to an
unstable housing situation because they can’t
afford rent—is not an option.
INSPIRING GENEROSITY
In a remarkable act of kindness, Marie-Josée Coutu, President of the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation, offered to take
part in a renewed vision of our Women’s Services and agreed to cover the purchase of a new residential building in the heart
of the beautiful Plateau neighbourhood. Because of her inspiring generosity and compassion, we will be able to comfortably
house 10 homeless women.
This new home, which is part of our Les voisines dans la communauté housing program, opens in January 2018.
WHEN WOMEN STAND TOGETHER
During lunchtime on March 1, the Patricia Mackenzie Pavilion was among eight other local
women’s organizations to share hot soup, coffee and cupcakes outside Place des Arts in
support of Soupe pour elles, a community movement organized by Gaz Métro to help
women in need.
Spearheaded by Sophie Brochu, President and CEO of Gaz Métro, Soupe pour elles
gained support from several major corporate and community partners, raising a
grand total of $231,491 for the cause.
A notable fact: some 380 people contributed in raising nearly $38,000 on the new Quebec
crowdfunding platform La Ruche, showing the power of social media to raise both
awareness and funds.
All proceeds were equally distributed to Le Chaînon, Auberge Madeleine, Maison Passages,
Patricia Mackenzie Pavilion, Maison Marguerite, Chez Doris, La rue des femmes, Logis Rose-
Virginie and La Dauphinelle.
