Action Jeunesse de l’Ouest-de-l’Île (AJOI) has been blessed with good news with the arrival of the New Year in the shape of a $10,000 donation from the «Fonds de bienfaisance des employés de Bombardier ». For more than 66 years, the «Fonds de bienfaisance des employés de Bombardier » brings financial support to community and health organizations in Greater Montreal.
This $10,000 donation will support the street outreach workers and the youth they help. The outreach workers will be able to update their working tools such as backpacks, first aid kits and warm clothing. The other half will go directly to the youths in need in the form of bus tickets, gift cards from grocery stores and pharmacies, clothing and personal hygiene products. It is the first time AJOI receives funding from the «Fonds de bienfaisance des employés de Bombardier ».
