Oasis Counter

The primary objective of Oasis is to offer an alternative in food autonomy to vulnerable families in certain municipalities of the MRC Beauce-Centre through a bi-monthly distribution counter of food baskets. We partner with Moisson Beauce to serve our customers.

The Oasis committee brings together volunteers from the municipalities joined by food aid (Saint-Séverin, Saint-Jules, Tring-Jonction, Saint-Frédéric and Saint-Victor) and ensures the proper functioning during the distribution of food baskets. 

Do not hesitate to contact us if you are in need.

Camp Repit

Camp Répit is for children from the greater Chaudière-Appalaches region aged 6 to 12.
 

Being a parent comes with its share of daily challenges. When this role is combined with significant difficulties, such as divorce, mortality or significant health problems (to name a few), these hardships generate more difficulties in exercising this role.

This is why the respite camp services offered by Club Parentaide have the power to make a considerable difference in the lives of these parents shaken by hardships, and on their offspring for whom a respite from the family climate can only bring comfort and renewal.

Thanks to these camps, parents have the chance to benefit from a rest period and this to catch their breath. During this time, their child is cared for by a competent team of facilitators eager to leave them a positive imprint allowing the personal development of the young people through a camp experience in a safe and stimulating environment. A stay filled with beautiful adventures, encounters and enriching experiences.

Our objectives during a Respite Camp

• Offer young people a global health routine by performing new physical activities, experimenting with new recipes that allow them to eat well, offering them a different contact with nature, etc;
• Allow children to have experiences of mutual aid with their peers, learn to express their emotions appropriately, and integrate positive methods of conflict management;
• Give each participant a unique opportunity to surpass themselves personally, to achieve new challenges;
• • Support each young person in the development of his personality and his quest for autonomy.

At the end of 2022, the program won the award of excellence at the CISSS-CA gala in the category Improvement of the concerted offer with the community.

To register your child, you must be referred by your JED counsellor at the CISSS de Chaudière-Appalaches or by the Maisons de la famille in the region. The counsellor will work with you to determine the specific needs of your child and validate eligibility for the program. Your counsellor will discuss first with you and then forward it to Club Parentaide.
