In a concerted effort to address rising food insecurity in the Outaouais region, Laiterie de l’Outaouais, in collaboration with Moisson Outaouais and Les Producteurs de lait du Québec (PLQ), has announced a donation of 30,000 liters of milk. The contribution is part of PLQ’s broader milk donation program aimed at supporting Quebec communities.

This marks the first time that Laiterie de l’Outaouais has taken part in the program, a milestone that comes amid heightened demand for basic food resources in the region. The donation will be processed and bottled locally, reinforcing the importance of regional infrastructure in food distribution efforts.

“We are extremely proud at the Laiterie de l’Outaouais to participate in this milk donation program by processing and bottling this milk from our region for those in need,” said Yannick Bouchard, CEO of Laiterie de l’Outaouais. “This program would not be possible without the essential commitment of our regional dairy producers, and we sincerely thank them for their participation.”
