Improving the Lives of Children Around the World

Volunteers work together to plan, advertise and host a variety of company and community events to raise proceeds for African and Canadian schools, and disaster relief.
Education
Nutrition
For the Children works with Breakfast for Learning to support proper nutrition. Donations are contributed to the morning snack program at local Broadacres Junior Public School in Etobicoke, Ontario.
The snack program provides students from junior kindergarten to grade five nutritious snacks every day, giving them the energy they need to lead a productive day. It also gives them the opportunity to learn about the four food groups and the importance of a healthy diet.
“We know that through feeding hungry children, we also nurture strong minds and provide students with the best chance of success possible.”
“Breakfast for Learning is the leading, national non-profit organization solely dedicated to child nutrition programs in Canada. We help raise awareness and educate communities about the vital link between proper nutrition and learning through ongoing program support, training, child nutrition education, resources and research.”
