CM Group for Resilience Montreal

Christina Miller Group for Resilience Montreal

As we head into the winter season, The Christina Miller Real Estate Group has decided to come together to collect warm clothing, socks, blankets, toiletries and food for Resilience Montreal.

Resilience Montreal is a non-profit day shelter situated on the corner of Atwater and Sainte Catherine, offering food, a place to sleep, clean clothes, and support to anyone in need. For several decades, Cabot Square in Montreal has been a gathering place for indigenous people, especially Inuit, and Resilience Montreal is always there to provide shelter, food, support, love safety and community.

We will be collecting the donations at our office in Westmount (326 Victoria Avenue) and then we will deliver it all to the Resilience drop-off location.
We encourage you to join us by dropping off your donation and signing our community gift card. Together we can make a difference!
