Nourishment for every student in every school through community partnerships.

There are many reasons that breakfast programs are seen as a critical investment in our children.

  • Research shows that 31% of elementary school children and 62% of secondary school students in Canada don't eat breakfast daily
  • Good nutrition begins at home but continues at school
  • Childhood is a critical time for establishing life long healthy eating habits
  • Research has well established the link between good nutrition and learning
  • Local teachers report improved behaviour, attitude, alertness, attention span and learning with nutrition program involvement
