May 15 2019 - 6:30AM
HEXO Corp (“HEXO” or the “Company”) (TSX: HEXO; NYSE-A: HEXO) is
committed to food security for Outaouais residents. It is for this
reason that HEXO has donated $20,000 to Moisson Outaouais to
purchase fresh fruits and vegetables to be distributed to people in
need.
"Moisson Outaouais does a remarkable job for the people of the
Outaouais region, both for the daily needs of the most
disadvantaged and for those affected by unforeseen events, such as
the recent spring floods," explains Terry Lake, Vice President,
Corporate Social Responsibility at HEXO. "The mission of this
non-profit organization is in perfect harmony with our own
commitment to caring for people, one of the 4 priorities of our
corporate social responsibility charter. Food aid has a direct
impact on people's quality of life and we are happy to be able to
contribute."
Moisson Outaouais helps an average of 10,500 people per month.
Of all these requests, 37% are for children. Last year, the
organization redistributed more than 820,505 kilograms of food.
"Moisson Outaouais is delighted to see a company like HEXO join
such an important cause, the fight against hunger. As the needs are
great, especially within the current context of the floods, HEXO's
donation will make a big difference to the people in the community
and we invite other companies to follow HEXO’s example," said
Armand Kayolo, General Manager of Moisson Outaouais.
HEXO has been supporting Moisson Outaouais since last year, when
the company made its first donation of $5,000 in October 2018.
