December 7, 2023
At the end of the 2022/23 school year St. Catherine of Alexandria Catholic elementary school in Halton Hills joined the growing Halton Food for Thought family. We are happy to celebrate the program is now in full operation for the 2023/24 school year!
The Principal of the Day, a student at the school, helped to supervise the launch of the Healthy Food Bin Plus program at the school. This student was instrumental in overseeing the organization and filling of the bins to ensure students had access to healthy snacks.
We are looking forward to this program’s impact at the school and are happy these students have joined over 92,000 other Halton students with access to a Student Nutrition Program. Congratulations to St. Catherine of Alexandria for this achievement and a special shout out to the Principal of the Day for all your hard work!
If you are interested in supporting our programs, there are many ways to do so from volunteering to donating to ensure the sustainability and strength of HFFT Student Nutrition Programs across Halton Region.

The 3 Main Ways
What began with food programs at 6 Halton schools in 1997 has now evolved to 130+schools in Halton programs in every Halton school, ensuring that no student in the region goes hungry at school.
Along with our community partners and army of volunteers, we are able to nourish and nurture generations of students. We know that nutrition is essential to their success and that habits established in childhood set the foundation for healthy behaviours in adulthood.
Our work is even more crucial, given that Canada remains one of the few industrialized countries with out a national school food program. As a result, access to proper nutrition is inconsistent and systems rely mainly on ‘patchwork’ solutions.
We feed kids everyday
Donate
Our history isn’t uncommon; a grassroots group of people who identify a problem and come together to form a solution. In this case, one of the strongest groups you can have behind your cause: Parents. Fast forward to 2007, just ten years later, and HFFT became an incorporated, registered, charity with its own Board of Directors and 63 programs. As of July 2019, HFFT has partner programs in 130 schools, providing more than 79,000 Halton students access to healthy food at school.

After months of planning and working with our partners at Confedde we have landed on a new look and feel for our Halton Food for Thought brand.This process took months of brainstorming, collaborating, reviewing drafts and of course multiple versions but it’s all worth it to get to the final product.
