Testimony from
Monia

Monia arrived from Tunisia, where she worked in the fashion industry and had started her studies in healthcare. She has been a Renaissance participant, training as a sales clerk–sorter–cashier. "I really like my work, the diversity of people and cultures is very enriching. Renaissance is giving me the Quebec experience that I don't have and that I need to get a job. I want to work because I need to get out and practice my language skills if want to integrate." Monia intends to get her nursing degree once she finishes her Renaissance training.

Opening of three new Donation centres in Laval, St-Léonard and Île Bizard - Ste-Geneviève

Renaissance is happy to announce the opening of its 18th, 19th and 20th Donation Centre, in the community of Laval, St-Léonard and Île Bizard. All the residents are invited to drop their donations of clothes and household goods, all year long to:

DO GOOD WITH YOUR GOODS!

Giving to Renaissance is both community minded and environmentally friendly!

Each year, thousands of tons of used consumer goods are detoured from landfill sites and at the same time hundreds of people are offered a brighter and more optimistic future. All the recovered goods are sorted, ticketed and sold at low prices through the network of nine Fripe-Prix Community Boutiques. 100% of the proceeds of the sales is used to finance the paid job training programs. The people following the training have various backgrounds (welfare recipients, immigrants, long term unemployed, visible minorities, inexperienced youth, handicapped etc.) but are motivated to return to work.

Renaissance accepts all clothing and household objects in good condition: clothing for all ages and sizes, jewellery, furniture, lamps, household accessories (frames, knickknacks etc.) dishes, pots and pans, bedding (sheets, blankets, comforters etc.) small electrical appliances (toasters, kettles, irons, mixers etc.) sports equipment, shoes, purses, hats, toys, books, clocks, gardening tools, curtains, blinds, records, CD's, televisions, DVD players etc.

Unfortunately we cannot accept: batteries, large appliances, paint, solvents and tires.
