MONTREAL, July 31, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - The media is invited to a "Feeding Our Future" picnic to be held at The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on Wednesday, August 2, 2017. Established in 2001 by Sodexo and supported by Moisson Montréal since 2011, the programme aims to meet the nutritional needs of young Montrealers who attend day camps. The Executive Director of Moisson Montréal, Richard Daneau, as well as the spokesperson of the campaign, actress Florence Longpré ("Like-moi" and "Les pays d'en haut"), will be on hand to meet journalists and to announce the Hunger Doesn't Take a Holiday mid-campaign results.
