An additional helping hand for the Guignolée Media Food Drive thanks to the Fondation Médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d’en-Haut.

The donations of non-perishable groceries gathered by the Fondation Médicale over the past several months were delivered to the Guignolée Media Food Drive during their major annual event on December 7. In all, 10 large boxes containing pasta, chewy bars, salad dressings and domestic products were given by the Trésors de la Fondation thrift shop team.

Great idea

“Denis Boutin, a former employee of the Fondation, had the idea. We thought it was a good opportunity to do our part for the Media Food Drive and the disadvantaged families in the region,” explains the executive director of the Fondation Médicale, Daniel Desjardins.

The Fondation Médicale plans to provide more food and non-perishable goods to the Guignolée organization next year. “Starting in the middle of the year, we will encourage people to bring us their grocery donations and we will give them on to the Guignolée Media Food Drive next December,” explains Mr.  Desjardins.
