Our History

Moisson Rrive-Sud

Food insecurity is a scourge that affects many Quebecers. As a member of Food Banks Québec, Moisson Rive-Sud is the main food bank in the Montérégie, covering a territory of nine RCMs (Regional County Municipality). We support daily community-based organizations that need food assistance. Today we cannot remain insensitive to this reality because the face of hunger is very different and it might surprise you. Donating to Moisson Rive-Sud is to support a network of community organizations in Montérégie that works against hunger!
