A CLEARER PICTURE
OF TODAY’S CHALLENGES
Did you know that 60% of Quebeckers experiencing poverty live in Greater Montreal? But what does living in poverty actually mean?
Poverty can mean:
Not having enough money to meet your essential needs.
Example: Having to choose between groceries and rent.
Living on a very tight budget with no buffer for unexpected expenses.
Example: Not being able to afford winter clothes for your children or replace a refrigerator when it stops working.
Worrying about the future, living with constant stress and, often, having to face it alone.
Example: Struggling as bills pile up, without anyone to turn to.
Centraide of Greater Montreal has been bringing people together and taking action for an inclusive Greater Montreal without poverty for over 50 years. Thanks to everyone’s collective generosity, we provide financial support and essential resources to more than 375 agencies and community projects that help over 800,000 vulnerable people in your community.
