Each year, Nutrition Month serves as a reminder of the importance of a healthy and balanced diet. In 2025, the theme is “Eat Well to Thrive,” a vital message that resonates deeply at MultiCaf.

Healthy Eating for All

We see it every day: access to healthy nutritious food is what allows us to move forward with energy ! Through our solidarity grocery store, community cafeteria, and nomadic markets, we help thousands of vulnerable people access nutritious and affordable food. Whether it's for newcomers, students, job seekers, or families struggling to make ends meet, good nutrition empowers them to pursue their aspirations with energy and dignity.

Tips for Eating Well Without Breaking the Bank

Access to healthy food shouldn't be a luxury.

Balanced eating is possible, even on a tight budget. Throughout March, we will share on our website and social media:

✅ Practical tips for planning balanced meals without waste

✅ Simple and nutritious recipes

✅ Tips for saving on grocery bills

The Importance of Food Education

Food education is at the heart of our mission. Last summer, we organized a fun activity with the youth from the Macdonald day camp to teach them how to put together a balanced plate and a healthy snack. Eating well doesn’t have to be complicated!

Here’s a simple rule to follow:

Half of your plate = fruits and/or vegetables 🥕🍓
The other half = grains & proteins 🍗🌾
For an energizing snack: pair a protein (for strength 💪) and a fruit or vegetable (for energy ⚡).
