Serving to better serve<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

We believe it\u2019s essential to give back to the communities that have supported us and contributed to our growth since our beginnings in 1930.<\/p>\n\n

Over the years, requests for donations and sponsorships have increased and are now numerous. To ensure that this management is fair, equitable, and organized, we adhere to the company\u2019s donation and sponsorship policy.<\/p>\n\n

We have chosen to prioritize causes related to families and children, as well as organizations that directly impact our community.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

  • The organization or event must be non-profit;<\/li>\n
  • The organization or event must have a positive impact on the community;<\/li>\n
  • The sponsorship must favor families and children, as well as groups of individuals from the St-Laurent Cheese Factory area; \u2014 We directly favor recognized foundations, associations, and organizations that champion causes (health, education, etc.) over participants in independent events supporting these same causes, unless the event is large-scale;<\/li>\n
  • The number of participants and media coverage may justify Fromagerie St-Laurent\u2019s participation;<\/li>\n
  • St-Laurent Cheese Factory must reach as many people as possible (for example, the sponsorship must not serve as a gift to the organizers but rather must be aimed at event participants).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
