Lineage recently announced a partnership with Nature’s Touch to increase access to nutritious frozen food for students in remote communities of Quebec. The company, which provides cold storage and temperature-controlled transportation solutions, leveraged its logistics network to support safe, efficient delivery of perishable donations.
Through the Lineage Foundation for Good’s Customer Product Donation program, Lineage facilitated the donation of frozen fruits and vegetables by taking ownership of the products in its warehouses and coordinating temperature-controlled transport to charitable organizations and schools.
Lineage’s cold storage network and refrigerated trucking solutions ensured that over 6,000 lb. of frozen strawberries reached schools safely, maintaining proper temperatures to protect product quality and food safety. The partnership enabled Nature’s Touch to overcome logistical challenges and expand its community impact in areas previously inaccessible.
The program also highlighted collaboration with Breakfast Club of Canada, which assisted with last-mile deliveries by plane to schools in Nunavik, ensuring students received nutritious products throughout the school year.
“Nature’s Touch shows us what it looks like when a company produces food not only to sell but also to give. Their leadership demonstrates that fighting food waste and feeding communities can go hand in hand,” Hannah Hoskins, executive director, Lineage Foundation for Good, said.
