Montreal, QC, October 2nd, 2024 – The Joel DeBellefeuille Foundation, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to supporting communities in need, is proud to announce its first charitable act: the donation of 100 whole frozen turkeys to 100 families in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG), QC region for Thanksgiving this year. The foundation is committed to giving back to those facing challenges and fostering a spirit of compassion and hope.
The recipient of this generous donation is the Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 024/106, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, which has been serving the local community since 1945.
