The M.I.L.K. Canada Foundation selected two Canadian organizations

Each year, the M.I.L.K. Foundation helps Canadian organizations that are selected based on criteria such as the alignment of their actions with the values of the Foundation and the outreach of their charitable actions throughout Canada.

In 2007, the M.I.L.K. Foundation gave a $25,000 donation to Roots of Empathy.

This pan-Canadian foundation's mission is a perfect fit for our foundation's values. We are very happy to support their work for a second consecutive year.

In 2005, the Foundation selected two organizations because of their philosophy and the outreach of their respective actions in Canada. Some weeks ago, Roots of Empathy / Racines de l'empathie and Helps the Aged (Canada) / Aide aux aînés (Canada) each received a $15,000 donation.

Indeed, the success of the M.I.L.K. products sales raises the optimism of the Foundation's executives. "These exceptional results convince me more than ever of the merit of an organization such as ours in today's global environment," said Guy Bélanger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation.

The M.I.L.K. Foundation Canada intends to continue its humanitarian mission. The upcoming year holds in store many new projects, including publishing some thirty new photographs that will add to the existing collection and further enhance the M.I.L.K. product line.
