Halton Food for Thought is excited to announce on Tuesday May 28th, we are heading back to the Oakville Conference Centre for our annual Breakfast Bash Fundraising Event! The Breakfast Bash helps raise the funding required to ensure our Student Nutrition Programs remain strong and sustainable while celebrating the work with our school board and school partners, volunteers and community partners.

Join us for our unique breakfast marketplace, where guests can sample delicious breakfast options from our Marketplace Vendors from restaurants across Halton, hear stories of inspiration, participate in our silent auction and more.

Halton Food for Thought's vision is a region in which ‘no student goes hungry at school. In partnership with the community, Halton Catholic District School Board and Halton District School Board, Halton Food for thought is the sole provider of Student Nutrition Programs in schools across Halton. We believe that through the provision of healthy meals and snacks every student has their best chance to succeed. Our universal access programs nourish students from kindergarten through grade 12 and are free of charge to everyone in a school.

This year’s Breakfast Bash fundraising goal is to raise $85,000 to support Student Nutrition Programs in Halton. Achieving that target will help ensure 92,000+ students across Halton in 149 schools continue to have access to healthy, nutritious food at school.

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.

In the spring of 2014, we set out to revive the agency. We wanted to realign ourselves with our cause and ensure all of our work was unified toward one goal. Our Mission and Vision are the core of our values and fuel all of our work in the community. In partnership with the community, we feed students healthy food so they can succeed.

Are you a local business that wants to help?

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. We hope you like what you see and encourage you to navigate our new website brought to life through lots of hardwork with our talented and ever supportive partners at MiniGiants.
