Founded in 1987, AmiSoleil is a food bank that meets the basic needs of disadvantaged families and individuals in the region covered by the Caraquet office of the Department of Social Development.
The organization also runs a clothing bank, where clothing, shoes and household items donated by the community are sold at modest prices. Sales finance the purchase of food for emergency boxes distributed to those in need.
The sales made on the 22nd of each month at the charging stations located at IGA La Coopérative de Caraquet ltée in Caraquet are donated to them.
