Feeding kids living with chronic hunger throughout Waterloo Region on weekends and daily during school breaks

About us

Food4Kids Waterloo Region works in collaboration with other organizations to ensure there is no gap in children accessing food on a daily basis. By providing nourishment to children on weekends and during school breaks, we provide the ability of families to shore up depleted resources, ease chronic hunger and improve food security. The program is based on these 3 distinct pillars: Food content and quality: Food provided in weekend packages, and daily during school breaks will be healthy, culturally sensitive and provide for dietary restrictions and allergies. Access: We provide access by delivering the weekend food directly to children at their school during the school year, and to their homes during school breaks, ensuring a non-stigmatizing model of delivery. Children: Each child, 14 years and under in a family, will receive their own food package, to ensure nourishment of all children living within severely food insecure homes. We know that there are over 3000 children throughout Waterloo Region, living with severe food insecurity. With the support of our incredible community providing volunteer and financial support we have been able to increase the numbers of vulnerable children we serve each week to 1000 kids.
