HAMILTON -- Tiger-Cats CFLPA all-star offensive lineman Marwan Hage is teaming up with FTC Canada (Feed The Children) to provide 680 family food boxes to needy families in partnership with Sun Youth Organization, a downtown Montreal community centre serving youth, seniors and low income families and people with special needs. Hage also plans to donate $3000.00 from his Hages Heroes program towards Sun Youth's youth football program which will enable participants play free of charge.

FTC Canada is partnering with Keltic Transportation Inc. for the food drop into the heart of downtown Montreal.  Marwan Hage, former Sun Youth participant and offensive lineman for the Ticats will be on hand to greet families and to hand out boxes. Hage and FTC would also like to acknowledge Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo and Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive lineman Luke Fritz who have also contributed to this great cause.

Hage will be on hand at the Sun Youth Head Office on Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

FTC Canada partners with organizations and companies to provide food and supplies to those in need throughout Canada.  Hage, a former Sun youth participant, and volunteers from Sun Youth will hand out the family food boxes (approx. 22 pounds).  Recipients are identified by local social service organizations and receive a food voucher which they redeem at the event.
