If you want to know what a typical day of volunteering is like, follow Debbie Lynch-White at Moisson Montréal:

 


“Our regular volunteer commitment at Moisson Montréal to help people in need has been an enriching human experience while allowing us to be part of a large and stimulating family
dedicated to the cause of food insecurity. Moisson Montréal is like a bee hive where everyone in their own way is committed to doing good, while producing nectar in the form of happiness.”

– Sylvie Léveillé & Raymond Corbeil

“I love volunteering at Moisson Montréal. To be able to contribute to the massive effort involved in distributing food to so many organizations is something I am very proud of. The experience has given me so much in ways I could never have imagined. As a volunteer, I always feel appreciated and that is a big part of the success of Moisson Montréal.”

– Jill Saltzman

“For me, volunteering is not an obligation, but rather a privilege.There is no greater satisfaction than giving the greatest gift a person can receive: hope. I encourage everyone to become a volunteer. The feeling is indescribable.”
