The Famille Leclair is a foundation that takes care of its community by supporting numerous causes and organizations that are close to its heart. The various dealers of the Groupe Leclair unite to give back to those who need it most, in order to contribute to a more equal and healthier world; in short, a better world.
From child and youth poverty to social inclusion of minorities, to help for the homeless, to sincere support for organizations such as the Red Cross, the Famille Leclair redistributes to as many causes as possible to make a difference in society.
The causes supported by the Foundation fall into four main categories: the fight against poverty, health & healthy living, arts & culture, and diversity & society.
Little by little, the Foundation fights for social change by redistributing funds among the community and by contributing to raising awareness on these important causes. The Groupe Leclair continues to be active, particularly in times of need. In the past year and in the context of the pandemic, notable donations were made to redistribute funds to those who have suffered the most.
Whether by contributing to events such as Au Chœur Du Partage, Regroupement Partage, the Breakfast Club Canada 911 Challenge or the Media Food Drive, the Famille Leclair is actively involved in giving back to those in need.
In addition, it contributes to the fight for social equality by giving to organizations promoting inclusion, anti-bullying, better representation of LGBTQIA+ sexual identities, contributing to scholarships, and more. Learn more about the Famille Leclair involvement with its various partners and the many organizations it supports.
