DONATE

FEED A STUDENT

Each day, participating schools throughout York Region offer breakfasts, snacks and/or lunches that include fruits, vegetables and healthy whole grain items and protein to ensure kids are well-nourished throughout the school day. Your donation- which goes to buying food to feed students or for programs in desperate need of a fridge or other equipment to prepare or store food- will make a difference in the lives of elementary and high school students!

Children are our future. Let’s feed them today.

What does it cost?
A snack consisting of two food groups costs approximately $1.25 per snack. A breakfast consisting of three food groups costs approximately $2.00 per meal. Fruits or vegetables are a part of every snack or meal.

  • $500.00 buys 400 snacks or 250 breakfasts

  • $100.00 buys 80 snacks or 50 breakfasts

  • $50.00 buys 40 snacks or 25 breakfasts

Equipment Needed

Schools urgently need fridges and other appliances in order to run their breakfast and snack programs. Funding for food cannot be used to purchase equipment, so we rely on the generous donations of the community. If you have a new or gently used fridge that you would like to donate, can offer a discounted price, or would like to donate the funds to purchase a fridge, please contact us!
