Société des Marchés publics de Montréal is launching the new Tous à Table!.
Thanks to the financial support of Desjardins Group, $50,000 of gift certificates redeemable at Montreal’s public Markets have been put directly into the hands of those who need it most, through the Centre de ressources et d’action communautaire de La Petite-Patrie (CRACPP).
By launching this first offensive, the Montreal Public Markets hope to generate a number of other opportunities to help a greater number of Montreal households in financial difficulty. Companies wishing to support the Tous à Table! programme are invited to contact the public Markets.
«At a time when the face of poverty is changing, we feel it is imperative to play an active role in strengthening food security. By bringing together corporate donors and community organisations, our aim is to enable the families of food producers and artisans to feed as many Montreal families as possible. We would like to thank the Desjardins movement, whose support has enabled us to set up the Tous à Table! programme and take a new step towards inclusiveness and a commitment to reducing hunger, while generating local spin-offs. »
Nicolas Fabien-Ouellet, Director of Montreal public Markets
« We are delighted to be able to diversify our food aid baskets by taking part in the Tous à Table! programme. Although CRACPP’s food aid service is intended as a food supplement, it is no longer uncommon for members to rely on it as their main, or even sole, source of food. The gift certificates will allow them to buy a larger quantity of food to better meet their needs, but also greater flexibility in their choice of food. »
Nathalie Bouchard, General Director of CRACPP
