On Thursday, over 65 people came out to the Maison de la Famille du Pontiac (MFP) in Fort Coulonge for a dinner to raise money for Centraide Outaouais. In total the event brought in $846.
The event was hosted in collaboration with the Fort Coulonge Comptoir St-Pierre and a team of volunteers as well as MFP employees worked diligently to serve up plates of turkey and fixings for all the famished guests.

The MFP is a non-profit organization that supports families in the region and hosts a number of workshops and social events throughout the year.
MFP director Nicole Belleau explained that they regularly raise money for Centraide Outaouais, as it is an organization that supports MFP and many non-profit organizations throughout the region.
“Everything is going to [Centraide],” she said.
In addition to the meal, there was a 50/50 draw and the chance to win a decorative door prize donated by MFP employee Maria Nathalie Medeiros.
