The Moisson Sud-Ouest food bank announces the 21st edition of the Guignolée des médias du Suroît, which kicks off this Friday, November 22 and runs until December 31. The street collection will take place on December 5 in all four corners of the Suroît region.

The organizing committee is hard at work. Online donations are strongly encouraged to ensure constant food distribution throughout the year. The 14 street collection sites in 8 towns across the region will be ready to welcome generous donors on the first Thursday in December.

As the number of people in need of food aid continues to grow, Moisson Sud-Ouest is calling on the entire community to mobilize. Every day, more and more children, workers and families face hunger.

“In addition to the street collection event, the guignolée des médias is also a major collective online monetary donation initiative. The funds raised at this time are absolutely crucial to the operation of the food bank throughout the year,” says Yan Ouellette, Director of Communications & Philanthropy at Moisson Sud-Ouest.

Moisson Sud-Ouest responds to the needs of the food insecure in the Beauharnois-Salaberry, Haut-Saint-Laurent and Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRCs. Its mission is to recover foodstuffs from several suppliers and distribute them on a daily basis to over 85 organizations.
