Who: Bel Group Canada

What: The company has donated $166,000 worth of products to Food Banks Canada’s After the Bell program.

Bel Group Canada’s support will help provide 215,000 healthy food packs.

“We are proud to support Food Banks Canada’s critical work to address food insecurity across the country,” says Marie-Ève Robert, VP of marketing and sustainability at Bel Group Canada, in a press release. “Our contribution to the After the Bell program is part of our ongoing mission to offer healthy and responsible food to all, while engaging our employees to volunteer some of their time to help assemble food packs.”
