This is to let you know that in response to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, emergency food aid is being set up in Quebec. The Government of Quebec, the Quebec Food Banks, and the “Club des petits déjeuners” are joining forces to support families who are struggling due to, or accentuated by, current events. For the time being, the Government is focusing on families with school-aged children and has asked for our support to reach you.
If your family is having difficult putting food on the table, contact your local community organization from the following list to find out how they can help you:
If you need psychosocial support, you should call Info-Santé 811. If you have symptoms of Covid-19, you should call 1-877-644-4545.
We all look forward to the reopening of our schools. In the meantime, we must continue our collective action in the fight against the coronavirus. Everyone's contribution is essential.
Yours sincerely,
Rob Buttars
Director General
