The Joel DeBellefeuille Foundation, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to supporting communities in need, has announced a donation of 100 whole frozen turkeys to 100 families in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce for Thanksgiving this year.
The foundation is committed to giving back to those facing challenges and fostering a spirit of compassion and hope and the recipient is the Royal Canadian Legion — Branch 024/106, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, which has been serving the local community since 1945. The turkeys will be distributed by theLegion’s 1st Vice-President Pam McEntee to the NDG Food Depot, the Lion’s Club, and the Head & Hands organization, ensuring families in need receive support during this festive season.

“We believe that giving back can have a profound impact on our communities, and we are committed to supporting families during the holidays and beyond” said founder Joel DeBellefeuille, who is chairman and executive director of the Red Coalition anti-racism lobby group.
The NDG Food Depot works tirelessly to provide food security and nutritional education to local families, while the Lion’s Club and Head & Hands focus on fostering community support and offering essential services to those in need. The partnership with these organizations aligns perfectly with The Joel DeBellefeuille Foundation’s mission to uplift individuals and families through direct support and community-driven initiatives. And there’s more coming, says director and Board member Cosimo La Rosa. “This donation is just the beginning of our efforts to support the NDG community and beyond. We are excited to work with local partners who share our vision of making a difference where it matters most.”
