Welcome to Parc-Ex Curry Collective
Parc-Ex Curry Collective is a mutual aid initiative that provides catering and food distribution services in Montreal, Quebec.
This community-led project provides a means of financial support for asylum seekers in the Parc-Extension neighborhood by hiring them as the main chefs.
And more, you can support vulnerable families in the neighborhood by purchasing community meals. For this option, the Curry Collective will deliver to these families for free!
