THE SHORT HISTORY OF GARDE-MANGER DES PAYS-D’EN-HAUT

The Garde-Manger des Pays-d'en-Haut was founded in 1995, thanks to the collaboration of Entraide Bénévole des Pays-d'en-Haut and Partage Amitié. In 1998, the Garde-Manger des Pays-d'en-Haut became officially autonomous and registered. In nearly 25 years, the organization has grown from a hundred families to more than 1,000 families in 2022.

At the time, clothing support was provided by an organization in Morin-Heights called Partage-Amitié which was created by a committee of the Fabrique de la Paroisse Saint-Eugène. Over the years, the complementary nature of the Garde-Manger des Pays-d'en-Haut and Partage et Amitié led the teams to unite their mission in order to support families for food and clothing on the territory in 2005. The Garde-Manger des Pays-d'En-Haut/ Partage et Amitié was born.

In 2012, Garde-Manger des Pays-d'en-Haut opened its doors in Sainte-Adèle at 100 Morin Street. The organization acquired a refrigerated truck and developed its services such as delivery and collective kitchens. Every year, the organization's team develops new partnerships with local food donors. The collection of unsold foodstuffs allows the organization to distribute fresh products and allows merchants and grocers to reduce food waste while making an important gesture for the communities of the Pays-d'en-Haut.

Since 2012, more and more users of the Garde-Manger des Pays-d'en-Haut have called on its services, and the Covid-19 pandemic of the past few years has exacerbated the need. The members of the board of directors and the team have therefore rolled up their sleeves to meet the demand. Whether it is through collective kitchens, food processing, sharing with other organizations, all means are put in place to better serve the clientele.

Over the years, partnerships have been created with the region's actors; community and municipal partners, government partners, philanthropic partners, all avenues are explored in order to support the essential services provided by the organization. The initiatives resulting from these partnerships are numerous: development of services, delivery for the most vulnerable, referral of users to complementary services.

AND FOR THE FUTURE...

Garde-Manger des Pays-d'en-Haut will be moving in 2024. Users will be happy to welcome back collective kitchen activities and new food processing projects in 2024. To find out more, stay tuned to our Facebook page.
