Our mission
En pleine pandémie, des citoyennes, citoyens et entrepreneur·es des Laurentides se sont mobilisé·e·s pour cuisiner et offrir des repas sains et équilibrés aux personnes et familles fragilisées.
Aujourd’hui, Chefs à la Rescousse s’impose comme une référence en sécurité alimentaire, grâce à la solidarité de ses bénévoles, partenaires et donateur·trices.
Nous poursuivons cette mission avec la même énergie qu’à nos débuts : apaiser la faim et renforcer la dignité dans notre communauté.

Our new space of solidarity
In Spring 2026, Chefs à la Rescousse found a new home at Campus Santé Mont-Tremblant — a place dedicated to physical, mental, and social well-being..
Our newly built 2,800 sq. ft. building includes a professional kitchen run by volunteers under the direction of a chef, and a counter offering ready-to-eat meals on site.
Located at 1450, chemin du Docteur-Ouimet, it is now possible to prepare up to 3,000 meals each week, distributed by our community partners across the region.
Our dedicated donors
At the heart of the Lise and Giuseppe Racanelli Pavilion, the generosity of our donors does far more than support a kitchen. It helps nourish the community, create comfort, and preserve human dignity — today and for generations to come.
Our call for your generosity
A warm meal doesn’t solve everything but it can ease a difficult day, lighten a burden, and give someone going through a fragile moment a bit of breathing room.
Your donation doesn’t just fill a plate; it supports those who make it possible and ensure the chain never breaks: the volunteers, the kitchen, maintenance, and daily operations.
When a community comes together, warmth finds its way back into homes.
Tax receipts issued for any donation of $20 or more.
Our core team
Tania and Nathalie ensure the smooth running of daily operations. Around them, dozens of volunteers generously lend their time to help prepare the meals. Through their dedication, they help nourish the community and bring comfort to those who need it most. Thanks to them, the mission comes to life week after week.

De toutes nouvelles cuisines pour l’organisme Chefs à la Rescousse
Au Campus Santé Mont-Tremblant, le 3 octobre dernier, par une frisquette matinée automnale, les principaux donateurs de CALR et l’équipe de Sébastien Houle qui tient le projet à bout de bras depuis quelques années s’étaient donné rendez-vous pour une symbolique coupe du ruban.
Quand la bonne cuisine fait du bien
Lorsque le monde s’est arrêté en avril 2020, le chef Sébastien Houle, propriétaire du restaurant sEb L’Artisan Culinaire à Mont-Tremblant, a décidé que sa cuisine servirait l’espoir, faute de servir ses clients. C’est de ce geste altruiste qu’est né Chefs à la rescousse.
Food service: small dishes, great generosity
The Solidarity Kitchens movement launched by La Tablée des chefs, which aims to ultimately provide more than 1.6 million meals through the Quebec Food Banks network, is not acting alone. Across Quebec, chefs and restaurateurs have made it their mission.
