York Region Food for Learning is a diverse community partnership dedicated to supporting breakfast and snack programs in schools. Our members represent local school boards, schools, community organizations, York Region, and Student Nutrition Programs. We meet monthly to discuss challenges and solutions to advance Student Nutrition throughout York Region. From time to time, we secure donations/grants so that we may help schools in need.

Programs are carried out at York Region schools and other sites across the 9 municipalities of: Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King Township, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Whitchurch-Stouffville.
