How to Donate

In Memoriam

Individuals, families and organizations may wish to honor a deceased loved one through a memorial donation. Memorial cards are available at local funeral homes and the Food Depot Alimentaire office. We’re also able to accommodate charitable donation bequests as part of estate planning or from a deceased estate.

*As a registered charitable organization, we can provide a tax receipt for monetary donations over $20.00. Please be sure to include your name, address, phone number and email address.
