GROUPE ACTION NOUVELLE VIE (Business Registration Number: 140183039RR0001) is a Canadian nonprofit organization founded nearly 30 years ago, providing assistance to vulnerable individuals and families, with a focus on children and youth. The organization supports over 10,000 people monthly through programs addressing poverty, social reintegration, and emergency aid[5].

Mission and Services

The organization’s mission centers on improving living conditions for marginalized groups by addressing essential needs such as housing, food, and clothing, while fostering dignity and hope[5]. Key programs include:

• Bon Départ: Offers nutritional and clothing support to mothers from pregnancy until six months postpartum[2].
• Marché alimentaire: A weekly food market providing balanced, healthy groceries to families in need[2][5].
• Noël pour tous: Distributes holiday food baskets and gifts to ensure families can celebrate during the festive season[2][3].
• Le 2159: A youth-focused initiative aiding individuals aged 15–25 facing homelessness, delinquency, sexual exploitation, or mental health challenges[2][5].
• Boutique Le Support: A thrift store offering affordable clothing for all seasons[2].
• Réinsertion sociale: Group training for individuals with mild intellectual disabilities and those mandated to complete community service[2].

Impact

GROUPE ACTION NOUVELLE VIE emphasizes direct, human-centered aid, particularly targeting children’s well-being and youth development. The organization also supports newcomers through integration tools, as highlighted in its "TRADUIRE L'ESPOIR" initiative[3][5]. Programs like the annual back-to-school event equip families with educational supplies to ensure academic readiness[2].

History and Structure

Founded in the early 1990s, the organization has expanded its reach across multiple regions in Québec, adapting to economic challenges such as inflation and rising poverty rates[1][5]. Its dual focus—families/individuals and at-risk youth—reflects a holistic approach to community support[5].
