The Héma-Québec Foundation’s mission is to give the gift of life by funding innovative and strategic projects for Héma-Québec so that together we can build a better future for generations of Quebec recipients and their families.

The wellbeing of these families is our top priority, which is why we support Héma-Québec above all, especially in these challenging times.

These days Héma-Québec is working actively day and night, seven days a week in order to secure its blood reserves during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’d like to take the opportunity to remind you of the ongoing importance of giving blood since 1000 blood donations are needed each day to ensure the optimal level of reserves. Héma-Québec finds itself on the front lines of the pandemic, making sure this is achievable.

One of the Héma-Québec Foundation’s major projects is support for the ABDV (Association of Blood Donation Volunteers).

Currently, to achieve its goals, Héma-Québec is collaborating closely with this association which focuses on the intensive recruitment of new donors, and has as its mandate to recruit and train volunteers in order to support blood drives during the pandemic. The ABDV is now confronted with a sizable challenge: the loss of 70% of its active volunteers, aged 70 and older. Because volunteers are needed to support blood drives, the Association is working tirelessly to process hundreds of new requests.

With your support, I am beyond convinced that we will be able to continue to pursue our mission, and pay it forward.

Thank you for the invaluable support you show every day!
