Moisson Montréal Food Bank
Our Montréal office has been volunteering with Moisson Montréal Food Bank for several years now. They are a critical organization that provides food to 303 community agencies on the island of Montréal. Through this network, nearly 900,000 food aid requests are fulfilled every month in Montréal.
Since they house such a large facility and meet the needs of thousands of people in the community, they require 75 volunteers along with staff every day to work in the warehouse. We are grateful to have a team of 18 of our employees sign up to volunteer this year. Working in a cooler bagging and boxing up frozen vegetables and grains for 5 hours was no small feat but we had a good time! Our team looks forward to partnering with this invaluable organization every year.
