D’une vision à une ressource vitale 

Abondance Algoma était à l’origine une initiative de Centraide Sault Ste. Marie et Algoma ayant découlé d’un engagement à lutter contre l’insécurité alimentaire. En 2018, l’ancien centre croate canadien a été transformé en un centre de ressources alimentaires bien animé. Grâce aux glacières et à la cuisine du centre, nous donnons un deuxième souffle aux denrées périssables en les distribuant là où elles sont le plus utiles.

Une page tournée

In 2023, the baton was passed to the Rural Agri-Innovation Network (RAIN), a division of Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre (SSMIC). As of September 2025, Harvest Algoma incorporated as a standalone not-for-profit organization with a central mission to address food insecurity through food rescue and distribution.

Abondance Algoma, c’est beaucoup plus que de la bouffe

C’est partager une richesse alimentaire, mais c’est surtout transformer des vies. Nos installations comprennent un entrepôt, une grande cuisine commerciale et des serres qui nous permettent d’appuyer plus de 70 organismes à but non lucratif et programmes locaux. Nous jouons un rôle clé dans le système alimentaire de la région en veillant à ce que des aliments sains se rendent aux gens qui en ont le plus besoin.
