Together, let’s make this season brighter
Since 1979, Toujours ensemble has supported children, youth and families in Verdun–Île-des-Sœurs.
This year, our Holiday Campaign aims to provide grocery baskets to 400 local families. Thanks to donors, volunteers and partners, these baskets provide food for approximately one week.
Would you like to receive a grocery basket?
Registration opens October 19, 2026, for families already registered with Toujours ensemble, and November 2 for the wider Verdun–Île-des-Sœurs community. Families and individuals living alone may complete the form.
The form is available in English, French and Spanish.
Need help completing the form? Call 514-761-7867, ext. 312.
Distribution: Wednesday, December 16, 2026.
The need has nearly doubled
In 2020, the campaign supported 214 families. In 2026, our goal is to reach 400. This growing need shows why local solidarity matters.
What does a family receive?
Each basket generally includes three to five grocery bags with fresh produce, meat and other proteins, pantry staples, canned goods and holiday essentials. Whenever possible, groceries are adapted to household size and dietary needs.
It takes a community
Distribution takes place on Wednesday, December 16, 2026. More than 1,000 grocery bags will be prepared and distributed with the help of over 50 volunteers and many community partners.
