On Saturday, volunteers from the West Island Mission went door‑to‑door at 15,000 residences in Pointe‑Claire as part of the fifth annual Porch to Pantry food drive, gathering donations for local residents in need.

The collection effort is a central element of the drive, which seeks to provide food for families as food insecurity continues to climb across Quebec.

Now in its fifth year, the initiative depends on community volunteers to bring pantry supplies to households throughout the West Island.
