Customers who want to contribute more will also be able to make a direct donation at checkout.<\/p>\n<p>At the SAQ, we believe that solidarity is essential, especially at a time when needs are reaching new heights. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and employees, we can help families experiencing food insecurity to celebrate the holidays with dignity.<\/p>\n<p>For 16 years now, the various campaigns led by the SAQ \u2013 and your support of each of them \u2013 have raised more than $20 million for Food Banks of Quebec, providing millions of meals to families in need. If ever there is a time for solidarity, it is during the holidays, when a number of families face economic difficulties. Together, let\u2019s keep our partnership with the FBQ thriving and make the holidays happier for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A worrying trend<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The need is enormous and skyrocketing. The faces of those dealing with food insecurity are many:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3.1 million requests for food assistance answered every month;<\/li>\n<li>More than 1 million persons assisted in a single month (across all services), a record level of use;<\/li>\n<li>48% of assisted households are families with children. This year, 47,479 more children have taken advantage of food assistance than in 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>True to its commitment to be involved with the community, the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des alcools du Qu\u00e9bec (SAQ) is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12141,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-initiative-en","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
