Au Bercail Foundation
A Strong Commitment to Vulnerable People in Beauce-Etchemin
Since 1983, Au Bercail Foundation has provided direct support to the most vulnerable women and men. Over the years, its services have expanded to meet the growing needs of the population. Whether through its temporary shelter, unconditional reception, community kitchen, or the Foundation itself, the team is guided by a deep desire to help and support those most in need.
Our Core Values
At the heart of Au Bercail's daily work are the values of respect, solidarity, mutual aid, empowerment, and justice. Every action is aimed at creating a space where everyone can regain power over their life and participate in their own recovery.
Main Services Offered
Temporary Shelter
The shelter serves as a refuge for anyone needing a break and guidance to get back on track. It offers a safe, supportive environment to help individuals rebuild, restore autonomy, and work toward a better future.
Unconditional Reception
Au Bercail offers a place for listening, orientation, and support. This environment allows those who feel isolated to reconnect with society and benefit from personalized assistance.
Community Kitchen: L’Assiettée beauceronne
The community kitchen is more than a place to get a meal; it is a warm spot for socialization and learning. It encourages sharing and community spirit while helping to fight food insecurity.
The Au Bercail Foundation’s Role
The Au Bercail Foundation is dedicated to raising funds to support all these services and directly assist vulnerable and socially isolated clients. Thanks to donations and community support, the Foundation contributes to life-saving programs and projects, such as housing, educational initiatives, and new partnerships.
