The support of every one of our employees and partners shaped by the values we share.
CAUSE
We Believe
We believe all Canadian children deserve an equal chance at success.
We believe a child can not learn on an empty stomach.
We believe a healthy breakfast can change a life, a journey, a society.
PROBLEM
Not on our watch
Children should be hungry for knowledge, not food.
Food insecurity and poor lifestyle choices have significant repercussions on the health and education of our youth. When students attend school on an empty stomach their energy levels, problem solving skills, creativity, concentration and behaviour are negatively impacted.

Canadian children are at risk of going to school on
an empty stomach*
We believe that breakfast programs are part of the solution
* Before the pandemic, statistics showed that over a million children in Canada, or one in four, risked going to school on an empty stomach. The most recent data on food insecurity increase, as well as projections related to access to school food programs allow us to estimate that today one in three children is at risk of going to school on an empty stomach.
