Why Centraide?

Centraide acts where it should. For every dollar received, Centraide Québec and Chaudière- Appalaches distributes $0.88 to community organizations in the Quebec-Chaudiere-Appalaches area. That's why since 2009, Finitec Canada has chosen to support this organization that gives back to various support services in the region.

Centraide Québec - Chaudière-Appalaches's mission is to mobilize the community and gather the resources to contribute to the development of the communities and improve the living conditions of people in vulnerable situations, and this, in partnership with the community organizations.
