“I truly am inspired when I see customers, teammates, our supplier partners, and the grocery industry come together to support the great work of The Grocery Foundation. Collectively we are making a real difference by supporting the more than 3,000 partner programs who are giving kids access to the nutrition they need to thrive. When children don’t have to worry about their next meal, they can focus on discovering their own greatness and reach their full potential.”
Darrell Jones
In 2017, we partnered with The Grocery Foundation to bring Make Happy Tummies to Western Canada and since then, our community of passionate team members, generous customers and amazing supplier partners has helped us reach new heights in our mission to build stronger, healthier communities together. There’s nothing more important for the future of our country than our children. We are so proud of Western Canadians for coming together this year to fill a record number of tummies with nourishing meals so they’re ready to take on the day and take on the world.

Our purpose at METRO is to nourish the health and well-being of our communities, so it is important for us as an organization to support a campaign like Make Happy Tummies. It’s an annual fundraiser that we look forward to supporting. Our Metro and Food Basics store teams take it as an opportunity to show off their creativity and have some fun with our customers. And the formula is working because every year we raise a little more than the last.
Metro has a longstanding history of nourishing the health and well-being of our communities. We are pleased to also support this cause alongside our vendor partners, knowing it fits with our passion for our customers and the role we play in their daily lives. We understand this campaign has had a tremendous positive benefit for many children. We are pleased to create a Quebec-specific program serving Quebecers and nourishing local children through Breakfast Club of Canada, an organization that has roots in Quebec.
Paul Bravi
Annually, Make Happy Tummies marks a time of communal spirit and dedication from our Food Basics and Metro teams. It has become a tradition and is a testament to METRO’s culture of compassion and action. Every year, our teams unite with vigour and enthusiasm to help ensure kids receive the nutrition they need to learn and thrive at school.
Buy-Low Foods and Nesters Market continues to support Make Happy Tummies. The program helps hungry children in our communities where many face incredible challenges. The products we retail in our store will bring Make Happy Tummies to life so that we can continue making a positive impact – in our backyards – by helping the hungry children in Western Canada. We applaud the efforts of our supplier partners, our team members, and our customers. Let’s continue to come together – let’s continue to set new heights in donations. Our goal is to show the Buy-Low Foods & Nesters Market spirit and strengthen our communities by filling hungry tummies.

Independents are the fabric of the communities they serve across this country. As such, the way they support such important causes as Make Happy Tummies is a prime example of independents working together with their sponsor partners to help feed hungry children. Independents look forward to supporting this year’s campaign and making sure it remains visible and top of mind to ensure a successful outcome!
Anthony Longo
At Longo’s, caring for our community is at the heart of everything we do and providing access to healthy, nutritious food is a top priority. That’s why Make Happy Tummies is so important to us, and we’re proud to support this campaign that helps ensure children in our community have the same opportunity. Seeing the positive impact this campaign has on the lives of families in need is truly inspiring and humbling, and supporting this initiative is a privilege. We remain committed to doing everything we can to make a difference and support access to healthy food options for all children in
our community.
As the leading discounter in Quebec in terms of customer experience, we are pleased to not only deliver the best value for money, but to showcase our support of local causes and children. We are pleased to be working with over 100+ brands today to deliver value to shoppers and are excited to have many of them join efforts to feed hungry children across the province.
