About

History of our origins

In January 2004, having established the lack of resources in the territory to deal with food assistance, citizens and organizations in the community decided to come together to address this problem. This action led to the creation of the Collectif Aliment-Terre on June 9, 2004 at a general(founding) meeting..

Mission

Le Collectif Aliment-Terre’s mission is food security in the St-Simeon to Port Daniel area, and raising public awareness regarding poverty and social exclusion.
