Security question: Location of the foodbank ?
Answer: bdf (in lowercase)
Given the economic and social consequences, we are asking for the community's help to stock our shelves. Due to the rising cost of groceries, many families, individuals, and seniors are turning to our food bank.
Your donations are invaluable in helping those in need.
They enable us to purchase essential food items that are not available through recovery efforts. Your contributions allow us to distribute baskets every two weeks to more than 130 families in Paroisse St-Luc

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our generous donors!
How comforting and touching it is to know that we can count on you! Thanks to you, more than 200 families in need were able to benefit from our Christmas baskets this year.
The money raised allowed us to buy meat, bread, milk, fruits, and vegetables, and the numerous goods collected during the Guignolée helped fill our baskets so that each family could share a delicious Christmas meal.
On behalf of all the families, the members of our team, and St-Luc Parish, we sincerely thank you for your generosity, kindness, and support.
During this time of confinement, please know that the St-Maurice Food Assistance Service will continue to help families every week in January. Let's continue, TOGETHER, to make a difference for our residents of Lorraine, Rosemère, and Bois-des-Filion.
