We can now proudly say, ' We feed our kids during the summer months.' Our Summer Feeding program (or SFP) is the first regionalized program of its kind in Canada.

​

​Schools refer children with limited access to food during the summer months. Volunteers package healthy food such as: soup, whole grains, cereal, dairy, fruit and vegetables. The food supply contains 50% fresh whole foods taking advantage of our bountiful Ontario harvest!

​

​We are also excited to share, each food package contains ingredients and a recipe for a healthy meal, using foods typically provided by local food banks. For week 1, the package contained ingredients for a vegetarian chili... canned tomatoes, kidney beans, chick peas, canned corn. We cannot convey how inspired our families were, learning and cooking together as a family.

​

​This program is 100% funded through community donations. It costs $400 to provide a full week's supply of healthy food for the 8 week summer break.
