The Importance of Strong Student Nutrition Programs
In Canada, studies show that when students regularly have breakfast, they tend to make more friends and build stronger bonds with adults. This can lead to doing better in school and feeling more connected.
How Our Programs Stand Out:
- Students don't need to prove need - we ensure they get the nourishment they deserve
- Students don't need to register - we understand they come to school hungry for various reasons
- We foster a community without stigma - everyone is welcome to join
- Our programs provide wholesome food - following strict guidelines aligned with the Canada Food Guide, including fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and protein options
Our Community's Current Needs:
- Young people need nutritious meals to grow and thrive
- Nearly 30% of Halton's youth have experienced some form of food insecurity
- About 28% of food bank visitors are kids and teens under 17
- Food inflation Year over year is seeing the highest increases in nearly 2 years
