MONTREAL, Aug. 7, 2024
/CNW/ - Over the past 40 years, food insecurity has become one of
the leading health and social issues across North America. A crucial topic that has become
close to the heart of award-winning winemaker and
philanthropist Joel Gott.
Along with his team at Joel Gott Wines, he launched Gott for
Good, a philanthropic program dedicated to facilitating access
to food through shelters, soup kitchens and school lunch programs.
Over the past six years, the winery's involvement has never ceased.
This year is no exception.
SUPPORT ACROSS THE COUNTRY
Throughout 2024, Gott for Good will be offering support
across Canada to help countless
families with limited access to food.
This past April, the team provided on-site support alongside
Moisson Montréal and delivered a donation to the Quebec Food
Bank.
In July, the foundation will set off West for an activation in
British-Columbia and a donation to
the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
And finally in October, they will be contributing in person in
Ontario all the while providing
financial aid to Feed Ontario.
"The food situation for many families in Canada is dire and we want to do everything we
can to help change that. Should it be through on-site help
alongside local food banks or donations, every little bit helps. We
are committed to keep working to make sure food insecurity affects
fewer Canadians every day." - Joel Gott
In 2023, over 2.5 million meals were successfully provided to
families in need across North
America. Now in its sixth year, the Gott for Good initiative
has been met with renewed enthusiasm by organizations and partners
alike.
