Over this two-day food drive, we hope that everyone will come out in large numbers to help us restock our warehouse shelves, which empty quickly during the summer season. If each visitor brings six food items, thousands of people will get food aid. We would like to sincerely thank La\u00a0Ronde for their precious commitment year after year,\u201d said Dany Michaud, Executive Director of Moisson Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So it\u2019s going to be a green Christmas at La Ronde this July 23-24! Lovers of the holiday season will delight in meeting Santa Claus, who will be making a detour to Montreal during his well-deserved summer vacation!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A simple gesture that will significantly impact thousands of Montrealers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hunger is a chronic issue that more people need to be aware of. Every day, organizations affiliated with Moisson Montr\u00e9al respond to the growing needs of thousands of Montrealers. In fact, Moisson Montr\u00e9al distributes almost 13 million kilos of foodstuffs and other essential products every year. During the summer season, when certain aid programs are suspended, the need for food aid is still urgent, making this Christmas-themed food drive a necessity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the 2014 edition, the generosity of Montrealers resulted in the collection of 3 tons of foodstuffs, which enabled the organization to distribute 255 bags of groceries. Support Moisson Montr\u00e9al and La Ronde in their efforts to provide those in need with food aid by donating non-perishable food items this July 23-24!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About Six Flags Entertainment Corporation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Six Flags Entertainment Corporation is the world\u2019s largest regional theme park company with $1.2 billion in revenue and 18 parks across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
