The committee thus serves as a support group for projects, brainstorming efforts, and the pooling of resources from various organizations that participate on a free and voluntary basis. It also maintains an up-to-date picture of the situation and implements joint actions.
Supported by the CIUSSS de l’Estrie - CHUS, members meet a few times a year to discuss issues, share projects and create tools to further the committee’s mission.
To put in place mechanisms that empower communities as well as individuals, so that they may be autonomous in their method of accessing food, regardless of their financial means, culture, eating habits, means of transportation, etc.
We want to create a food system in which production, processing, and distribution are local.
We aspire to create a concerted effort in which partners help to lift each other up, but also to ensure that the population is receiving the services it needs.
We aspire to see concrete, innovative projects grow between members.
CéSAM’s main objective is to ensure effective and efficient food aid, to meet the challenges tied to food insecurity.
