Fresh Menu

Our Program: Fresh Menu

The Fresh Menu initiative was launched in the summer of 2024 to promote access to a healthy, fresh and balanced diet during the summer season, in particular for those facing food insecurity. The program is based on the preparation of fresh salads made with simple, nutritious and accessible ingredients. These salads are distributed throughout our affiliated network of organizations.

The intention behind these meals is clear: we wish not only to offer tangeble food support, but mostly to offer a moment of confort and discovery.

Each salad is designed to meet a real need, with simplicity and respect.

Created to be nourishing, fresh and easy to make, salads are accompanied with a recipe card, allowing users to easily reproduce them at home. This is a practical way to sustain and encourage food autonomy in everyday lives often touched by uncertainty.

“What we put into these trays isn’t just food — it’s possibilities! We use ingredients that people don’t always cook with, but that are nourishing, accessible, and versatile. We want each meal to inspire them to try, to taste, to cook. It’s our way of creating something lasting.”— David Gagné, food services Coordinator at Moisson Outaouais.
