Handala contributions go toward keeping our community centre running and covering the administrative and operational costs of our charitable programs. CPFQ keeps its admin fees intentionally low, and we're proud that our centre stays afloat largely through programming revenue and the work of dedicated volunteers. Handala provides the additional support we need to keep those services going consistently.
Our team will look into your application and contact you once approved to welcome you into the HANDALA family and schedule a date to deliver the HANDALA business kit.
HANDALA is only applicable in store for the moment. No offers can be applied online or through a 3rd party.
Customers have to show their tags to redeem the HANDALA offer. In case of not having the tag, businesses have the right to decline the offer.
Contact us at info@cpfq.org with all details and we will update accordingly.
Your membership already makes a difference — but if you'd like to go further, additional contributions help us expand the program, reach more community members, and deepen our support for Palestinians in Montreal and beyond. Businesses that contribute are recognized within our network as community champions. To discuss contribution options or make a donation, reach out to us at info@cpfq.org or follow this link.
