The L’Abri en Ville Annual Citrus Sale is under way offering delicious oranges and grapefruit for the holiday season. Your support of this annual drive provides us with the means to provide stable homes and authentic community for adults diagnosed with a major mental illness.
A very popular fundraiser is the Citrus Fruit Sale in December. This is a most important event as it not only raises awareness of the work of L’Abri en Ville but in the past eleven years it has raised funds to help support our charity. Many people in the community volunteer to help sell or organize the pick-up of the fruit along with the L’Abri residents. And everyone enjoys the delicious oranges and grapefruit.
New this fall, our supplier is offering a new variety of oranges:the “Early Gold”. It has been on the market for less than 15 years so it’s not very present in supermarkets. It is very juicy and very sweet. It contains very little pulp and has a darker colour inside and a nicer rind than a traditional Florida Navel.

On Sunday October 16th, 2016, join L’Abri en Ville residents, volunteers, staff, family and friends as they march in the streets to raise awareness and funds for mental health initiatives at this year’s Montreal Walks for Mental Health.
Last year the Montreal Walks for Mental Health was again a big success as L’Abri supporters participated in great numbers adding their voice to the cause and raised $2,153 for our organization. Furthermore, The Montreal Walks for Mental Health Foundation awarded L’Abri en Ville a special grant of $4,500 which enabled us to outfit the apartments of L’Abri residents with air conditioning units, providing a healthier, cooler summer for many years to come.
Paul Aubin, President of the MWMH, writes: ‘’The Montreal Walks for Mental Health Foundation brings together ten health institutions and Community organizations that work to increase public awareness about mental health. We believe that having a public discussion about mental health is one of the best ways to reduce the stigma that prevents so many from seeking the help they need.’’
Join us again this year, Sunday October 16th, on this ‘’walk towards a world without stigma’’ while raising funds for L’Abri en Ville.

October’s Walk for Mental Health was enlivened by tumbling, juggling and lively music. Phillips Square was crowded with colorful placards with positive messages on mental health issues, later carried across the downtown area by a spirited, chattering crowd as onlookers paused to watch.
L’Abri en Ville was well-represented in the crowd and at the registration desk, with 15 residents, as many volunteers and – particularly good to see – family members. Hard work attracting sponsors resulted in our raising $2,463.75, of which $1971 was returned for L’Abri’s use. Special thanks to L’Abri volunteers Suzanne Herscovitch, Mary Murphy, Paul Aubin and Trudy Michielsen and to coordinator Cheryl Lafferty for a job well done!
