La mission du Manoir est d’accueillir les parents d’enfants malades qui doivent séjourner dans la région de Québec pendant l’hospitalisation de ceux-ci. En plus d’alléger le fardeau financier relié à l’hébergement standard, le Manoir permet aux parents de partager leur épreuve avec d’autres familles vivant la même situation dans un milieu convivial. Le quotidien de ces parents peut parfois ressembler à une montagne à surmonter chaque jour, ce sont de véritables héros. Pour répondre à la demande toujours grandissante, le Manoir a dû en 2010 agrandir sa superficie et augmenter sa capacité d’accueil en passant de 19 à 32 chambres afin de satisfaire le plus de familles possible. Notre objectif est d’amasser des fonds pour aider au financement et ainsi continuer à assurer des services de qualité aux familles.

Inaugurated in 1984, the creation of this hospital is the work of the Father Armand Gagné, trinitaire, whereas he was missionary in Guatemala of 1975 to 1983. At the time of the departure of the Father Armand for another mission, his friends, parents and old parish of Quebec (Canada), which organized already various activities and liftings of funds to help the Father Armand in the realization of his projects, decide to officialize their regrouping. Thus in March 86 was born it: “Fondation les Amis du Père Armand Gagné inc.” recorded as organization of charity. Today still, thanks to tens of voluntary, the Foundation supports all the projects initiated by the Father Armand in Guatemala. 100% of the gifts of the public are versed with our projects.

Few medical crises are more devastating or frightening than a child with a life-threatening disease or an unexpected injury or illness; and few situations place greater stress on parents and families. While tremendous advances have been made in treating seriously ill children, the families’ financial and emotional burdens remain. Ronald McDonald House® Atlantic Canada was created to help ease some of these burdens. Since May 1982, over 25,000 families have stayed with us when they had to travel to Halifax for medical treatment for their child. Families share in the cost of their stay by contributing a nominal fee of $11 per night for their entire family. However, their extensive medical expenses often preclude even this modest amount. We depend upon charitable donations and volunteer support from many individuals, corporations and foundations for our continued existence. On behalf of our families, we are deeply grateful for this support.

The Food Sharing Project is an attempt on the part of interested groups and individuals to ensure that children do not go through their school day hungry. The Food Sharing Project is an example of an ideal model, as a partnership among the School Boards, the Food Bank and many community groups, businesses, service clubs, and individuals working together to feed children in schools. Approximately 4,200 students are fed daily in about 80 sites in the Limestone District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. This is done through organized breakfast, lunch and/or hearty snack programs to meet the specific needs of their school communities.
