  • CBC Montreal raised more than $44,000 for the NDG Food Depot.

CBC Montreal is proud to support the NDG Food Depot this holiday season.

Last year, we raised over $30,000 for its Fresh Food Fund. These funds meant the Depot could buy fresh food for programs and emergency food baskets all year long.

We want to do more and we need your help.

On December 11, we're collecting donations at the NDG Food Depot and four other locations around NDG. To help us succeed, we need a lot of Do Crewers to volunteer alongside CBC personalities, staff and the NDG Food Depot.

On December 13, CBC Montreal is planning the city's biggest and oldest sing-along at the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul — the CBC Christmas Sing-In.  We need people on this day to give attendees entry bracelets, inform them of what to expect and be goodwill ambassadors.
