Adrian and Natalie Bercovici created Generations Foundation to tackle child poverty in Montréal by providing free school meals, cooking classes, a holiday toy program, graduation awards and a summer camp. Launched in 1999, in the basement of their home, the program has grown exponentially to feed more than 8 000 children in 125 schools daily. Their hands-on dedication helps the students learn more, develop healthy habits and embrace a greater sense of community.
