Food4Kids Halton
Food SecurityFundraising goal: $25,000
Food4Kids Halton provides healthy food packages for elementary-age kids with limited or no access to food each weekend. The food packages, assembled by volunteers, are delivered to schools each week to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend. School staff discreetly place the food bags into each child’s backpack to ensure anonymity and to avoid stigma. Our 6-week rotating menu features dietary options for Halal, Kosher, and allergies or food sensitivities.
In 2023/24, Food4Kids served more than 1,100 children across Halton living with food insecurity and 382 of these children live in Oakville. We also support children and families throughout the summer months with grocery gift cards.
