A Nutritious Meal Every day

180,000 children still waiting for a breakfast program

Too many children still go to school hungry every morning. Nourishing these young minds gives them the best chance of reaching their full potential, allowing them to contribute fully to tomorrow’s society.

668 schools in underprivileged area

do not have access to breakfast programs

Today, more than 500 schools across Quebec benefit from the services provided by the Club. However, we are still shy of the halfway mark of providing all children in underprivileged areas with breakfast before they start their day.

Nourishing children

a simple endeavour with benefits that really make a difference!

Studies show that school breakfast programs provide a variety of benefits, including:

  • Increased learning capacity and attendance
  • Improved psychosocial functioning
  • Increased access to healthy foods and higher nutrient intake
  • Decreased tension related to rushed morning routines
  • Improved public health and lesser health care costs
  • More positive school climate

While these benefits make a strong argument for supporting breakfast programs on their own, today’s high inflation reinforces the urgent need to take action by rolling out Breakfast Club of Canada’s initiatives.

Breakfast Club of Canada

Making a difference in children’s lives for nearly 30 years

The Club currently has the structure, the expertise, the financial support of both the private sector and the general public, and a solid network of partners that could make it possible to give all children an equal chance of success as of right now. To make this happen, all we need is the government’s support.
