LONGUEUIL (QC) — DoorDash is supporting two Montréal organizations that provide critical services to women, children and families facing some of life’s most challenging circumstances.
Logifem and Shelter Movers have received a combined $7,500 in Community Credits via DoorDash gift cards, helping the organizations provide meals, essential items, and practical support to those they serve.
Logifem, which provides shelter and support to vulnerable women and children in Montréal, has received $2,500 to strengthen the organization’s emergency food service. The funding will help residents access meals, groceries, and household essentials while providing comfort, dignity, and stability during a critical period of transition.
“Support from DoorDash through its Community Credits program has a positive, direct impact on the women and children staying at Logifem,” says Sally Richmond, Managing Director of Logifem. “This contribution helps us celebrate important moments, while also strengthening our emergency food service. We sincerely thank DoorDash for this support, which brings more comfort and care to our residents.”
Meanwhile, Shelter Movers, which supports families and individuals seeking an escape from violence, has received $5,000 from DoorDash. The donation will offset costs for meals, groceries, and other household essentials for people who are coming to Shelter Movers for help.
“Move Day is often both a courageous and emotionally exhausting step toward safety for the families we support,” says Catie Primeau, Senior Director of Philanthropy at Shelter Movers. “This contribution strengthens our ability to offer safety and care when it is needed most. We’re thankful to DoorDash for helping survivors take their next steps toward stability.”
Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. It collaborates with local businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free of violence.
Additionally, Food Banks of Québec has received a donation from DoorDash to support individuals and families facing food insecurity in major regions of the province.
The contribution, valued at $5,000 in Community Credits in the form of DoorDash gift cards, will support Food Banks of Québec provincial network through its members in the greater Montreal and Quebec City areas. This support will enable frontline community organizations to better respond to the growing demand for food assistance in the province.
“Thanks to DoorDash’s support, we are able to help more individuals and families access essential food and products at a time when needs continue to grow across Quebec,” says Alexandre Lebel, Executive Director of Food Banks of Québec. “This contribution in Community Credits allows our members in major regions to support community organizations working on the front lines of the fight against food insecurity. We are grateful to DoorDash for its commitment to Quebec communities.”
Food Banks of Québec represents 34 independent regional members that serve 1,400 affiliated community organizations. Collectively, they respond to more than 3.1 million requests for food assistance across the province every month.
DoorDash Community Credits support community-based groups that help people facing hardship. It empowers non-profit partners to provide vulnerable families and individuals with immediate, practical support in meals, groceries and essential household and hygienic items.
This partnership with Food Banks of Québec reflects DoorDash’s broader commitment to empowering local communities and creating more equitable access to opportunity.
“Community Credits are one of the ways we can show up as a real partner in the communities we serve,” says Brian Kaufmann, Head of Policy at DoorDash Canada. “They let us use our platform to help people access what they need, when they need it — whether that’s a meal, groceries, or everyday essentials. By working with local nonprofit organizations, we’re able to get support directly to folks who need it most.”
