Montreal, November 18, 2014 \u2013<\/strong> Five weeks before Christmas, Moisson Montr\u00e9al took the opportunity of yesterday\u2019s Recognition Evening<\/em> to kick off the festivities surrounding its 30th anniversary. In the presence of its thirteen new ambassadors, whose contributions have helped advance Moisson Montr\u00e9al\u2019s mission, as well as numerous elected officials, the organization unveiled the program for its 30th anniversary celebrations, along with its new Web site, www.moissonmontreal.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1984, Moisson Montr\u00e9al began its operations to help Montrealers suffering from food insecurity,\u201d said Pierre Legault, founder of Moisson Montr\u00e9al. \u201cWe never imagined that 30 years later, Moisson Montr\u00e9al would be the largest centre in Canada for collecting, sorting and distributing emergency food assistance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the support of our valued volunteers and donors, nearly 13.2 million kilos of food and other essential products are distributed annually, compared to 8,000 kilos 30 years ago,\u201d said Dany Michaud, Executive Director at Moisson Montr\u00e9al. \u201cIn addition, our infrastructure and rigorous practices enable us to redistribute the equivalent of $18 of food for each dollar received. We are very proud of this and wish to thank the Montreal community by celebrating with them, as we owe them our success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The official event, to be held on February 12, 2015, is a fundraising evening entitled Conserve<\/strong>, which will include a musical, artistic and dining experience hosted by Anne-Marie Withenshaw<\/strong>. Designed by LNDMRK<\/strong>, the first edition of this annual event is organized by a committee of philanthropists in partnership with evenko<\/strong> and will take place at the Virgin Mobile Corona Theatre<\/strong>. An exclusive art exhibition, culinary creations provided by food trucks, along with a variety of musical performances, will help guests celebrate the work of Moisson Montr\u00e9al as the largest food bank in Canada. Beginning in December, two categories of tickets will be available and can be purchased online. Moisson Montr\u00e9al invites the public to stay informed of the details regarding the celebrations on the following social media, using the hashtag #Conserve2015: Twitter: @MoissonMTL<\/a>, Facebook: http:\/\/facebook.com\/moissonmtl<\/a> and Instagram: @Moissonmontreal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moisson Montr\u00e9al Web site gets a makeover<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, Moisson Montr\u00e9al is proud to unveil its new Web site, which offers improved navigation and a cleaner look and feel. Among the new features are interactive widgets for social media, a calendar of activities and a news section, where plenty of information will be added regularly.<\/p>\n
