The Generations Foundation 2024 Holiday Food and Toy Drive is officially underway to spread holiday cheer and support across Montreal.
The goal is to give a new toy to thousands of children in the area who may not otherwise receive a gift this holiday season. Aside from toys, the initiative also provides non-perishable food items to families in need.
The husband-and-wife duo behind the Generations Foundation is devoted to providing breakfast and lunch to students at Montreal-area elementary and high schools. Their hot meal program ensures that thousands of kids don’t go hungry.
This year, the hard-working team says requests for help are on the rise. The foundation is requesting additional funding and grants to meet the growing demand and to help offset the high costs for groceries.
The Generations Foundation is also supporting more schools, having added more to its network this year.
