Our History

- 1962In 1962 the company was bought by Rolland St Charles and continued to flourish, turning its attention to specialize in the food brokerage business and ultimately becoming a major player in the industry.

Community
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!

Friends of We Care is a network of 80 members / sponsor organizations from the foodservice and hospitality industry united by a common desire to care. Manufacturers, distributors, operators and brokers as well as cold storage, management and marketing companies lend their hands and their hearts to help send Canadian children with physical disabilities to specialized summer camps. Over the past 26 years, we’ve raised more than thirteen million dollars to send over 30,000 children to camp. Each year we raise one million dollars to provide complete funding for 500 kids to attend camp (that’s 5000 days at camp every summer). What that adds up to is a whole lot of fun!

Its mandate is to aid the blind and partially sighted by providing counselling and helping them lead the most autonomous and active lifestyle possible, whether it’s in terms of housing, recreational activities or community life. Besides providing the visually impaired with the necessary tools to enable them to live as independently as possible, the Foundation also helps them organize their daily routines and lessens their isolation.
