About Entraide Bénévole Métro

Mission Statement
Entraide Bénévole Métro is a non profit organization that offers physical and emotional support to seniors experiencing temporary or permanent loss of autonomy within the downtown and Westmount area. Our involvement assists clients in maintaining their independence and remaining in their community through the work of our volunteers.
Description
EBM’s history dates back to 1985 when there were volunteer groups offering community services within CLSC Métro. The restructuring of government financial aid prompted a reorganization within these departments. An application for non-profit status was filed and Entraide Bénévole Métro was founded.
Our volunteers may fulfill any of the following tasks (on a weekly or as-needed basis): friendly visits, grocery shopping, or medical and banking accompaniments.
EBM also offers income tax preparation for low income seniors, musical therapy and art expression.
All EBM services are free of charge.
