Community values are at the core of McCain Foods, and in keeping with The McCain Foundation’s mission to help rural communities in which the company operates, the two entities are donating $1 million each to relief efforts on the East Coast.

The total of $2 million will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross to support those suffering through enormous hardship and loss.

“Our company started in a small community in New Brunswick, similar to many of the places that have endured the worst impacts of Hurricane Fiona,” said McCain Foods president & CEO Max Koeune. “We know from our own experience how strong the sense of community is throughout Atlantic Canada, and we, along with The McCain Foundation, are committed to supporting our employees, farmers, friends, families and neighbours during this difficult time.”

McCain Foods and The McCain Foundation would also like to recognize and thank the federal government for its commitment to match donations to the Canadian Red Cross until at least October 23, and encourages all Canadians who are able to consider donating to help support further relief efforts across Atlantic Canada.
