FMT sent a team to participate in La Grande Marmite, a charitable food challenge that produces ready-to-cook soup bags for food banks in Quebec. Organized by La Tablée des Chefs, all donations collected through registrations go to support its Solidarity Soups program. This year, it aims to provide a total of 2.5 million servings of ready-to-cook soups to people experiencing food insecurity.

Check out what La Tablée des Chefs is doing, and consider donating! As little as $25 a year provides 100 meals! https://latableeplus.tableedeschefs.org/en/
