KINGSEY
FALLS, QC, March 7, 2023 /CNW/ - Cascades is proud to
announce that its Centre-du-Québec units, located in Kingsey Falls, Victoriaville and Drummondville, are donating a remarkable
$687,000 to United Way/Centraide.
"It's important for Cascades to do its part to support the
population of the Centre-du-Québec region. We know that the needs
are ever-growing, and our employees continue to answer the call.
This year, we're particularly proud of their generosity and their
courage to give in these difficult economic times," said
Mario Plourde, President and CEO of
Cascades.
For several years, Cascades has matched the amount donated by
its employees, and has multiplied by 1.5 all donations made by
those who are giving for the first time. This initiative aims to
boost awareness about the cause, and increase the amount
raised.
"I am particularly proud to work with people as committed as
Cascades' employees. Each year, their generosity towards United
Way/Centraide is impressive and shows that we can all be part of
the solution, regardless of the amount of the donation, to
contribute to the well-being of our community. I sincerely thank
Cascades and its employees for their trust in United
Way/Centraide," said Valérye Bourassa, Regional Manager of
Centraide Centre-du-Québec.
Cascades would like to thank all the donors and highlight that
close to 700 new donors have joined its campaign in the past two
years. The hard work of the dozens of ambassadors in each of the
participating units is paying off.
United Way/Centraide Centre-du-Québec supports 62 organizations,
and its mission is to improve the conditions and quality of life of
those living in the region and to build inclusive communities to
fight poverty and exclusion.

value-added solutions for packaging, hygiene and recovery needs.
The company employs approximately 10,000 women and men, who work in
