Children Breakfast - Sai Dham Food Bank

Empowering Young Minds, One Meal at a Time

Combating Childhood Hunger in Ontario

Thousands of children in Ontario face hunger crises daily, with nearly 30% of food bank users being under 17, according to Food Banks Canada’s 2024 report. This implies that 3 in 10 individuals relying on food banks are children. Many go to school without a nutritious breakfast, affecting their ability to learn and progress. This highlights the urgent need for food donations to support young lives.

Sai Dham Food Bank’s Help & Feed initiative aims to change this through the Children’s Breakfast Program, providing nourishing meals to support children’s potential both in and outside the classroom.

What This Program Is About

Since 2014, the Help & Feed Children’s Breakfast Program has ensured that no child in the Peel Region starts their day hungry. What began as a small effort to support 100 children in Malton, Mississauga, has now expanded to serve over 15,000 children monthly across 25+ schools. Partnering with local schools, social organizations, and dedicated volunteers, we fight food insecurity by providing nutritious breakfasts for children that empower them to focus on their education and personal growth.

What’s Inside Each Monthly Hamper

Participating families receive a weekly hamper filled with essential items tailored according to the children’s needs. Each hamper include:

Fresh fruits and vegetables
Milk and yogurt
Cheese slices and eggs
Bread and cereal
Kid-friendly snacks like cookies

These items provide essential nutrients that empower children to engage fully in their education and development,
fueling their bodies and nourishing their spirits.

Testimonials

My name is Dudu, and I am 68 years old, I’ve faced many challenges, especially when it comes to making ends meet. I was relying on a nearby food bank, but the food I received was often expired, and I didn't feel respected or cared for. Then I found *Sai Dham Food Bank*, and my experience changed completely. They welcomed me with kindness and provided fresh produce and quality products that I could rely on. More importantly, they treated me with dignity and respect, making me feel valued. It’s not just about the food—it's about the compassion and support they offer to people like me. I’m truly grateful to Sai Dham for making such a positive difference in my life.
