Who We are
Fellowship in Action is a grassroots non-profit founded in 2022 by friends from the food industry. What started as snack bags for one elementary school has grown into a movement bringing joy, care, and connection to underserved people in our neighbourhoods.
Through monthly snack bags and essential-item donations, we support teachers, facilitators, students, and participants — and give volunteers and donors a meaningful way to show up for their community.
Testimonials
On behalf of the students, staff, and administration of Centennial Regional High School, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of snack packages to our school.
Each package—thoughtfully prepared makes an immediate and meaningful impact on our students. For many, these snacks are more than just a treat; they provide essential nourishment that helps students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day.
Your organization’s commitment to supporting youth and addressing everyday needs within our community does not go unnoticed. Acts of generosity like yours contribute directly to student well-being and help create a more equitable and supportive learning environment for all.
We also recognize that initiatives like these are made possible through the ongoing support of donors and partners. We strongly encourage individuals and organizations to consider contributing financially to Mouvement en Action so they may continue delivering vital programs and support to schools and communities like ours.
Thank you once again for your kindness, generosity, and dedication to making a difference in the lives of young people. We are truly grateful for your support and look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership.

School Snack Bag Program
Every snack counts
When we learned that some students were coming to school hungry, we created the School Snack Bag Program: small, nutritious snack bags that give kids the energy they need and a moment of connection together.
We began with Verdun Elementary School, providing monthly bags filled with an apple, a Bear Paw cookie, and a juice box
This small act has created a big impact of more than 12,000 snack bags served since 2022 across 4+ schools.
Outreach Program
Through grass-roots community outreach, we connect with schools and organizations facing food insecurity to expand the reach of our snack bags. Currently we serve multiple schools across Montréal and Montérégie donating 800+ snack bags per month.
Currently includes Verdun Elementary School (Montréal), École secondaire Monseigneur-A.-M.-Parent (Saint-Hubert), Centennial Regional High School (Greenfield Park) and Christmas Park Elementary School in Beaconsfield.
How you can help
Fellowship in Action runs entirely on community generosity.
Since 2022, our snack bags have been funded primarily by our founding members, volunteers, friends and family. As our program has grown, so has the need for community support.
Every $1 donated funds one snack bag. One-time donations help us fund our next delivery, while monthly donations help us build a more sustainable program and provide consistent support to the schools and organizations we serve.
Now incorporated in Québec and pursuing charitable status, we are expanding our ability to support more schools and programs.
A little goes a long way:
Each snack bag costs just $1.00 to prepare — including an apple, a Bear Paw, a juice box, and the bag itself. Your support helps us cover ingredients, transportation, packing, delivery, and the essential administrative costs that allow us to keep growing.
Whether through a donation, volunteering time, or sharing our work with others, you can help us create more moments of joy, care, and connection across our neighbourhoods.
Why Snack Programs Matter
Food insecurity affects thousands of people across Montréal and Québec — including many students, newcomers, and underserved adults. For families already stretched by rising housing costs and the high cost of living, even small food supports can make a meaningful difference.
Research shows that regular access to snacks can improve concentration, behaviour, and wellbeing in children and teens. For newcomer students, who often carry the added cognitive load of learning a new language, a reliable snack can help them stay focused and feel included.
But snack bags aren’t only about food — they create moments of connection.
-
A child or adult gets to share a snack with their group and feel cared for
-
A teacher or program facilitator gets a small moment of relief and joy in their day
-
Volunteers and donors get a chance to take action together for an underserved need
These small monthly gestures help reduce stigma, promote equity, and strengthen the sense of belonging in classrooms and community spaces.
The Neighbourhoods We Support
Verdun Elementary School, Montréal
High housing costs and rising food access challenges mean many families face difficult trade-offs. Over 8,300 Verdun households spend more than 30% of their income on housing — a key predictor of food insecurity.
Snack bags help teachers create moments of connection in classrooms that need them.
