Olympic Organic yogurt partners BC Dairy to donate US$36,500 toward community

CANADA – Lactalis Canada’s Olympic Organic yogurt brand, along with BC Dairy and Alberta Milk, has donated C$25,000 to Archway Abbotsford Food Bank and C$25,000 to Food Banks Alberta.

Both food banks play a crucial role in combating food insecurity in their local community.

This initiative reinforces Olympic Organic’s brand identity as a socially responsible company rooted in sustainability and wellness.

Known for its clean-label yogurts made from organic ingredients and Canadian milk, the brand continues to expand its impact beyond the grocery aisle.

Sabrina Zollo, Marketing VP, Yogurt & Cultured, Lactalis Canada, said, “With so many Canadians experiencing food insecurity, food banks are under extreme pressure to meet the demand. Lactalis Canada’s Olympic Organic brand is rooted in care – both for our consumers and our local communities.

This donation builds on our ongoing support for food banks across Canada, who have been supplied with nutritious Olympic yoghurt – made with 100% Canadian milk from grassfed cows. Through these donations, we hope to relieve some of the pressure and provide healthy, nutritious dairy for those in need.”

In BC, the donation will support Archway Abbotsford Food Bank, who strive to ensure that everyone in Abbotsford has access to nutritious, fresh, and food in an environment that supports dignity and a sense of belonging.

In Alberta, the donation will go to Food Banks Alberta, an organization that brings together 113 member food banks to address food insecurity in Alberta through collaboration and cooperation.

“Dairy farmers in BC and Alberta are delighted to team up with Olympic Organic on this donation to food banks in our two provinces,” said Jennifer Woron, Executive Director of Market Development, at BC Dairy. 

“With the cost of living continuing to rise, we recognize that many individuals are facing increased challenges in accessing everyday essentials. Through this donation, we hope to ease the burden and offer some support to those facing food insecurity.”

In addition to Olympic Organic’s $50,000 donation to food banks in BC and Alberta, Lactalis has also made a $70,000 donation to organic associations in BC, Ontario and Alberta.

These donations solidify Olympic Organic’s continued commitment and care for their communities, consumers and farming partners.
