Let's keep giving back to Food Banks of Québec, because it's never been more necessary.

Giving back together

If you recently bought an Olymel, Lafleur or Flamingo product, you may have noticed the PURCHASE AND GIVE BACK logo on the packaging. This logo serves as a reminder that these brands, through the PURCHASE AND GIVE BACK PROGRAM, have committed to give back the equivalent of $1.5M for the Banques alimentaires du Québec in 2020, or over 7 million servings of deli meats, pork and chicken.

Continuous support for food banks in your area

By giving back $1,500,000 to Moisson du Québec, Olymel, Lafleur and Flamingo continue their mission to feed the world.

Their support revolves around the following:

financial contributions
food donations
volunteering (assistance for food management, warehousing and transportation)

This assistance is spread among Les Moisson throughout all regions of the province for 12 months. The food banks collect basic foodstuffs and redistribute them to food organizations that provide food provision bags to those in need.

Giving back to the hungry

“What are we eating?” It's a common question heard every night. But imagine if “Nothing!” was the only answer you could give, and that plates sat empty because food banks were closed due to a lack of food… it's an unfortunate scenario that affects approximately 5% of the Quebec population.

Each month, more than 500,000 individuals rely on food banks, community organizations or food distribution centres for a bag of groceries, a meal or a snack. And each year, Les Moisson and the 1,000 organizations associated with the Quebec Food Bank network answer approximately 20 million requests for assistance.

More worrisome still is the fact that this number is constantly growing and almost half of organizations are unable to fulfill all requests due to a lack of food supplies.

1.9 million requests for food assistance per month
39% of food hamper requests come from households with children
35 to 40 million kilos of food collected, sorted and shared
