Moisson Rimouski-Neigette

What Moisson Rimouski-Neigette does

Moisson Rimouski-Neigette is a non-profit charitable food bank organization headquartered in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada, founded in 1992 and formally incorporated in 1993. It operates as an accredited member of Food Banks Canada and is affiliated with Banques alimentaires du Québec, serving as the principal food security infrastructure for the MRC Rimouski-Neigette regional county municipality in eastern Quebec. The organization's core activity is the redistribution of recovered, donated, and purchased food to households experiencing food insecurity, complemented by collective kitchens (ateliers cuisines collectives), the Fruits Partagés fresh-produce initiative launched in 2014, food recovery and transformation operations, and direct support to approximately 20 partner community organizations within the territory.

In 2024 the organization served 8,017 households and distributed 388,852 kilograms of food, with an average throughput of approximately 660 food assistance transactions per month. Since inception it has delivered 138,222 cumulative food assistances and assisted 237,739 individuals. Operational staffing consists of 71 employees, supplemented by a volunteer base that is not enumerated in the data. The donor and partner ecosystem includes national umbrella bodies (Food Banks Canada, Food Banks Quebec), retail and producer food recovery partners, and corporate/event sponsors such as Technipro BSL and Salon de Quilles Vézina.

The business model is donation-funded rather than revenue-generating: inputs are food recovery, financial donations from individuals and corporate sponsors, and volunteer time. There is no commercial pricing or contract mechanics. Recent fundraising activity includes the Quille-O-Thon event held in June 2026 in partnership with Technipro BSL, which raised $50,000. Digital infrastructure is limited to standard back-office tools (Google Drive, Claris FileMaker) for donor management and operational reporting, with no proprietary technology platform.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Banques alimentaires du Québec: Provincial umbrella network that Moisson Rimouski-Neigette is a member of. As the parent network, it provides accreditation, software, and collective procurement — a structural peer for tier-1 strategy and funding comparisons.
• Food Banks Canada: National umbrella network providing accreditation to Moisson Rimouski-Neigette. Operates at the national scale and standards-setting level, offering a comparable reference point for national-level funding and policy engagement.

Emerging players

• La Tablée des Chefs: Quebec-based food recovery and culinary training organization addressing food waste and food insecurity through chef-led programs. Comparable in food-recovery and kitchen-based intervention models, though emphasizing culinary training rather than direct food distribution.
• Second Harvest: Canada's largest food rescue organization operating a logistics-heavy food recovery model. Comparable in food-recovery methodology and direct supply relationships with farmers/retailers, though at a much larger national scale.

Direct peers

• Moisson Montréal: Quebec's largest food bank under the same 'Moisson' brand, providing food assistance and recovery across Greater Montreal. Direct peer due to identical service model, network affiliation (Banques alimentaires du Québec), and food-recovery mission.
• Moisson Estrie: Regional Moisson food bank serving the Estrie region under the same provincial network. Directly comparable in service model, geography type (regional Quebec), and operational scale.
• Moisson Québec: Regional food bank serving Quebec City under the Moisson network. Direct peer sharing the same brand, affiliation, and last-resort food assistance model in a different Quebec sub-region.
• Moisson Kamouraska: Regional Quebec food bank with a similar rural/Bas-Saint-Laurent-area footprint and service mix. Direct peer in terms of regional scale, donor base, and last-resort food assistance focus.

Regional players

• Feed Ontario: Provincial food bank network for Ontario, structurally analogous to Banques alimentaires du Québec. Provides a cross-provincial reference point for member-services, funding, and standards in a different Canadian geography.

Others

• Centraide du Québec et de l'Outaouais: Regional fundraising federation that aggregates workplace donations and funds multiple community organizations including food banks. Comparable as an adjacent enabling organization in the regional nonprofit funding ecosystem.
