MONTREAL - On Tuesday afternoon, the Montreal Canadiens donated over 13,000 pounds of food that would have been used during the team's home games in March to local food banks.

Fans looking to help members of the population most in need at this time are encouraged to make a donation to Moisson Montreal, a non-profit organization that responds to 567,000 requests for food assistance across the island of Montreal each month.

Using their network and resources, Moisson Montreal is able to purchase $15 worth of food with a $1 donation. A gift of $50 can feed three families for one week.
