Lactalis Canada's Olympic Organic Yogurt Partners with BC Dairy and Alberta Milk to Donate a Total of $50,000 to Food Banks in BC and Alberta
Together, Olympic Organic, BC Dairy, and Alberta Milk are addressing food insecurity in Canada by supporting access to healthy, nutritious food for those in need.
TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Lactalis Canada's Olympic Organic yogurt brand, along with BC Dairy and Alberta Milk, is pleased to announce a donation of $25,000 to Archway Abbotsford Food Bank and $25,000 to Food Banks Alberta. Both food banks play a crucial role in combating food insecurity in their local community.
"With so many Canadians experiencing food insecurity, food banks are under extreme pressure to meet the demand," said Sabrina Zollo, Marketing VP, Yogurt & Cultured, Lactalis Canada. "Lactalis Canada's Olympic Organic brand is rooted in care – both for our consumers and our local communities – and this donation builds on our ongoing support for food banks across Canada, who have been supplied with nutritious Olympic yogurt – made with 100% Canadian milk from grassfed cows. Through these donations, we hope to relieve some of the pressure and provide healthy, nutritious dairy for those in need."
In BC, the donation will support Archway Abbotsford Food Bank, who strive to ensure that everyone in Abbotsford has access to nutritious, and fresh food in an environment that supports dignity and a sense of belonging. In Alberta, the donation will go to Food Banks Alberta, an organization that brings together 113 member food banks to address food insecurity in Alberta through collaboration and cooperation.
"Dairy farmers in BC and Alberta are delighted to team up with Olympic Organic on this donation to food banks in our two provinces," said Jennifer Woron, Executive Director of Market Development, at BC Dairy."With the cost of living continuing to rise, we recognize that many individuals are facing increased challenges in accessing everyday essentials. Through this donation, we hope to ease the burden and offer some support to those facing food insecurity."
In addition to Olympic Organic's $50,000 donation to food banks in BC and Alberta, Lactalis Canada has also made a $70,000 donation to organic associations in BC, Ontario and Alberta. These donations solidify Olympic Organic's continued commitment and care for their communities, consumers and farming partners.
