The proceeds of Operation Red Nose Charlevoix-Ouest support the following project : Promoting healthy food habits by providing healthy meals and offering sports activities to young people ages 12 to 17 in the Charlevoix region.

The project targets physical activity and healthy food habits.

Throughout the school year, two facilitators, accompanied by a volunteer, plan and prepare meals and teach young people about the importance of eating healthy foods for their well being and their development. Each week, on average, 100 healthy meals are served to young people for the low price of $1.50 per meal (or for free for those who don’t have enough money).
