Cornwall — On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the Agapè Centre received a $1,000 donation from the Club Richelieu Cornwall, reinforcing a shared commitment to local children and families.

No child should know poverty or hunger—and yet it remains a reality in our community. Each month, the Agapè Centre supports over 1,300 children through its Community Market, while its weekday breakfast and lunch program ensures students start the day ready to learn.

Behind these numbers is remarkable leadership and a devoted team of staff and volunteers working with dignity, compassion and purpose. Their impact is real, immediate and deeply human.

Richelieu is inviting citizens to be part of the solution. Whether through time, donations or simple acts of kindness, every contribution matters. Together, our community can ensure that no child goes hungry—and that every small gesture helps build a stronger, more caring Cornwall.

Donate for the sake of the children

As a service club, the Club Richelieu invests in our youth. Needless to say, this investment requires funds that it receives from individuals, companies and organizations.
