Involvement within the community is an integral part of the values and mission of La Galerie de Miss Rey (hereinafter La Galerie). Through various activities, such as artistic battles, La Galerie supports local organizations in carrying out their projects.
It is therefore completely natural for La Galerie to begin this new year with a major fundraising effort. The latter is intended for the shelter project of the POSA Source-des-Monts organization. This project aims to improve the lives of beneficiaries aged between 18 and 25 who find themselves on the street.
In collaboration with painter Danielle “Dan” Nadon and FG Chocolatiers (sponsor), La Galerie held a tasting evening with a festive atmosphere in the colors of Valentine’s Day. The event took place in the Pureté lounge, where participants could admire the paintings of Dan Nadon.
NB The sale of his paintings is part of the fundraising. This fundraising continues until the end of March.
Process of the evening
Welcome message and explanation of the POSA shelter project
Sandra Bolduc, General Director of POSA Source des Monts explained the project of a shelter for young adults who find themselves without services (and often homeless). This situation is quite obvious at the end of a period in a center or with a host family.

*Two kinds of Port (one unfiltered and one tawny) with 4 kinds of chocolate (chocolates selected by Geneviève Leblanc, co-owner of FG Chocolatiers, for an unparalleled tasting);
