In 2021, a staggering 1.4 million Canadian children grappled with food insecurity, as revealed by a University of Toronto study. This concerning reality disproportionately affects those from low-income and single-parent households, hindering their learning abilities and aspirations. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, a pivotal step was taken in 2014 – the establishment of Canada’s inaugural breakfast program for young minds.
Addressing Child Hunger
This groundbreaking initiative is geared towards providing children from vulnerable backgrounds with a nutritious and energizing breakfast, a crucial foundation for both health and academic success.
Through robust partnerships with the Peel School Board, Catholic, and Public Schools, as well as dedicated social workers in Mississauga and Brampton, the program has triumphed in delivering over 300,000 meals every Friday. This collaborative approach reflects the power of community engagement, social impact programs, and philanthropic endeavors.
