Getting your company involved, a winning strategy for isolated seniors
Established in Quebec in 1962, Little Brothers is a trusted resource for isolated seniors. Our volunteers and staff across the province provide support to hundreds of seniors with diverse challenges each year. The needs of our organization are just as diverse and offer great opportunities for partnerships with local businesses. They also allow you to mobilize your employees and highlight your company’s involvement in the community.

Dedicated Donations: Support a Program or a Specific Team
Your donation will help us set up programs and support our teams throughout Québec working to counter the isolation of lonely seniors. Through its programs, the organization builds a family around our Great Friends.
How to contribute?
- Fund a particular program that matches your interests;
- Support the development of a regional team;
- Offer adapted equipment or accessories that meet the needs of seniors and improve their daily lives;
- Enable them to go on holiday or to make their big and small dreams come true.
Donation of goods and services
Help us improve our Great Friends’ quality of life by offering us products or services that could help us reduce our operating costs.
Donation of gifts for celebrations
The loneliness felt by isolated seniors is even more acute on major holidays. Make our Great Friends’ eyes sparkle by donating goods, gift cards, tickets to shows or outings, flowers, or any other little gifts to show that you care.
Donations of building materials and household supplies
Given that Little Brothers is present in 15 locations across Québec, the maintenance of our homes and facilities is a real financial challenge. Your company can become a partner and help us with these costs. It is an effective way to ensure that our Great Friends have access to a warm and safe place.
Gift card donations
Our volunteers drive around in their personal cars to make visits, offer time and sometimes even deliver little gifts at their own expense. Gift cards or vouchers for restaurants, cafes, activities or gas stations are perfect for any occasion. It is a wonderful way for our volunteers to make our Great Friends feel special.
Donating goods to the Boutique
Little Brothers Boutique in Montréal is always happy to receive donations. You are welcome to drop off any equipment that can be resold or that can help seniors in need.
