🖼️ The December Arc: Two Events + One Massive Gift Drive

In December, we hosted:

The Scattered Holiday Art Market, in partnership with CIUSSS – featuring art from neurodivergent creators

A Variety Show at Reggies in collaboration with Welfare Avenue, packed with performers from across Montreal’s community—comedians, poets, musicians, and more

Both events weren’t just celebrations of creativity—they were fundraisers for something bigger.

Together, they led directly into our Gift Drive for folks in care across Montreal.

🎁 The Gift Drive – Powered by You

Thanks to your generosity, our collaboration with @welfareavenue, and incredible support from @minibiblioplus and @canadiensmtl, we:

Collected over 2,000+ gifts and packaged and distributed 1,000 curated gift boxes to people in care!!

These gifts went to:

MUHC Foundation

Montreal Childrens Hospital

4 Wards of the Douglas Mental Institute

Friendship Circle Montreal

CIUSSS programs across the West Island

And Crisis Centers in Vaudreuil

This could not have happened without the foundations, volunteers, performers, donors, and every single person who showed up—from handing out flyers in the cold to packing hundreds of boxes in under 24 hours. You made it happen.

We see you, and we’re so thankful.
