Youth Hunger - Nutrition For Learning

There are hungry students at every school.

The need for food at schools across Waterloo Region has far outpaced our capacity.

"This program means everything to our school. All our teachers know to take 5 minutes out of their morning to fill their Nutrition for Learning bins to make sure their class is set up for success. More children than ever are showing up to school hungry, and need a snack first thing in the morning so they can start the day off with a mind ready to learn." – Nutrition for Learning School Coordinator
