Food for Learning needs your support!
The significant rise in food costs is affecting families and also Food for Learning programs in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Your support will hep ensure all students have access to daily student nutrition programs.
- Studies show that hungry students cannot be fully engaged in their learning. When students eat better, they learn better.
- When children receive the nourishment they need to grow and thrive, they have better interactions with their peers and they are able to focus and concentrate.
- Food for Learning programs affect the emotional and physical health of children and youth who access food daily.
- Even though the food at schools is free for students, it still comes with a price for schools.
- More families are relying on Food for Learning programs to stretch their home grocery budgets, meaning more students are accessing food at school.
- Food for Learning programs are slowly returning to a pre-pandemic food delivery model, where food is prepared at the school and students eat their meals and snacks together, family style to foster a sense of belonging at school.
