Costco and Breakfast Club of Canada blow the 20th candle of their partnership

Boucherville – December 20th, 2022 –

Breakfast Club of Canada just marked 20 years of partnership with Costco warehouses, one of its main and long trusted support. Over the last two decades, Costco has been making sure to bring awareness and contribute to the health and education of youth and contributed more than 18 million dollars towards the Club’s ultimate goal: breakfast for every child, every day.

“Breakfast Club of Canada is very fortunate to rely on dedicated partners like Costco who understand the importance of a healthy and nutritious breakfast for students” said Judith Barry, Co-Founder and Director, Government Relations at Breakfast Club of Canada. “With the major increase in the number of schools supported over the past two years and the significant impact that inflation is having on operations, the support of major partner is more important than ever.”

Costco warehouses and their associates showed their ongoing generosity by joining Breakfast Club of Canada’s annual back-to-school campaign for the 15th year in a row. After the 10 days campaign across the country and thanks to employee’s dedication, close to 1.4 million was raised highlighting the power of this partnership to make a real difference and ensure children can reach their full potential and can look forward to a brighter future.

“Every child in Canada should have access to a nutritious breakfast. Costco Canada is proud to partner with Breakfast Club of Canada to make this reality. Over the last 20 years, our employees and customers have supported this mission and we look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come” Gino Dorico, Senior Vice-President & General Manager at Costco.

Walmart Canada raises record $4.5 million, helping Breakfast Club of Canada provide 9 million morning meals to children

Boucherville – December 14, 2022 – Breakfast Club of Canada is pleased to announce that Walmart Canada has raised a record $4.5 million in 2022, allowing the Club to provide 9 million* nutritious morning meals for children and students across Canada. Since 2003, Walmart Canada has worked with Breakfast Club of Canada, donating and raising more than $63 million to help reach more students every day.

This year’s fundraising activities contributed $4.5 million and included a $1 million corporate donation from Walmart Canada. Customers were invited to donate in-store and online and Walmart associates organized fundraising initiatives to support the Club’s activities to make sure children have an equal chance to learn.

Breakfast Club of Canada has been working tirelessly for the past 28 years and today reaches more than 580,000 children in over 3,500 school nutrition programs throughout Canada each morning. With inflation reducing the ability of individuals and households to afford essential expenses, the demand has increased for essential services provided by various organizations. More than ever, the Club’s operations rely on a dedicated network of partners, such as Walmart Canada to gather resources and bring the organization closer to a goal: breakfast for every child, every day.

“For two decades, Walmart Canada has been a major partner who understands the importance of the work we do to nurture children’s potential through breakfast programs,” highlighted Judith Barry Co-Founder & Government Relations Director. “Their continued commitment to reaching more children across the country and the annual fundraising campaign gives us the chance to reach a large audience and encourage millions of Canadians to support our cause. Breakfast Club of Canada is grateful for the support and the strong relationship built with Walmart over the years.”

“Together with Breakfast Club of Canada, we’ve been making great strides in fighting hunger and ensuring kids are fueled to learn with greater access to nutritious school meals,” said Rob Nicol, Vice President, Communications and Corporate Affairs at Walmart Canada. “We’re proud to partner with Breakfast Club of Canada and we would like to thank our associates and customers for a record-breaking year, for their overwhelming generosity and another fantastic campaign.”

* The Club’s national contribution average is $0.50 per breakfast. For every dollar Walmart, its customers and associates raise, Breakfast Club of Canada can help provide two meals to children.
