Holiday Gift Card Drive
We helped deliver smiles to the youth of our community!
This holiday season, we partnered with the Fondation du centre jeunesse de la Montérégie to provide pandemic-friendly gift cards to the children in our region. Thanks to the help of our community members, we were able to spread some holiday magic to kids and teens in the South Shore of Montreal.
Chateauguay Food Bank Annual Food Drive
With your support we were able to fill 6 vans of much needed essentials for the and raise $506.11 for the food bank.
Our volunteers worked tirelessly to promote, unload, sort, pack, encourage and collect donations. Our youths started off the school year with positive energy, thinking about others, and the impact they can have on their community. Our youngest volunteer, who was just shy of 3 years old, brought in our first donation with his sweet dancing proving that you are never to young to make a difference. Our innovative teen members had the idea to collect donations directly with our signs on neighbouring streets – kudos to our future generation!
