Now have reliable access to healthy food via our Student Nutrition Programs. That's over 87% of the students in Halton!

Halton Food for Thought has been the sole provider of Student Nutrition Programs in schools across Halton Region for nearly 3 decades. We are passionate about providing students with access to healthy and nutritious meals and snacks before and during school hours to help fuel their day ahead. Partnering with over 157 schools across Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville allows us to have an impact on the lives of over 96,000 students during the school year. Our programs are offered through Universal Access, where all students are encouraged to participate without having to register. We aim to deliver our programs using a stigma-free approach to ensure students have access to the healthy food they need. Feeding students fuels their minds and bodies, setting them up for academic success and lifelong healthy habits. To find information about your school's Student Nutrition Program check out our School Partner Map.
