Olo Care, often called the Olo program, is offered throughout Quebec to pregnant women and families with a child under 24 months of age at CLSCs and selected community organizations.
You are pregnant:
The recommended way to access Olo Care is to register at quebec.ca/magrossesse (available in 11 languages). Health professionals could also refer you to Olo Care.
You have a little one under age 2:
The recommended way to access Olo Care is to contact your CLSC and the guichet AAOR (reception, analysis, orientation and reference). You can find your CLSC at https://sante.gouv.qc.ca/en/repertoire-ressources/clsc/.
You can also talk to your vaccination nurse, or any other health professional who can refer you to Olo Care. It is not recommended to fill in the Ma grossesse form once your baby is born.

Once admitted
Once you are admitted into the program, Olo Care activities and food coupon distribution can begin as early as the 12th week of pregnancy, and continue until the child’s second birthday. Olo meetings continue after the baby’s birth to provide more support in acquiring healthy eating habits.
To access Olo Care, you must:
- Be pregnant or have a child under 24 months of age;
- Have a low income.
However, due to the high demand in certain regions, institutions may add additional selection criteria. Ask your CLSC.
