Halton Food for Thought

Today, we join our friends at @HaltonLearnFDN and @HaltonFFT to celebrate National Child Day. On this day, we recognize the rights, voices, and potential of every child. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, included, and supported in their classrooms, in their homes, and in their community. When we work together, we create a stronger, more caring Halton where every student can thrive. Happy National Child Day! #NationalChildDay #EveryRightForEveryChild.

Tonight @TorontoRockLax host the Colorado Mammoth at the TRAC at 7pm. Admission is free & guests are encouraged to bring a donation to support our work. All donations will stay in local Oakville schools to support their Student Nutrition Programs. See you tonight Rock Nation!

As the 2024/25 school year wraps up, we want to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible schools, volunteers, and donors who helped make it such a success! Your dedication and support ensured thousands of Halton students had access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.

For over 20 years, @sleemanbeer has been a proud supporter of the Student Nutrition Program at Oakwood PS in Oakville! Their long-standing commitment helps ensure students have access to the nutritious food they need to fuel their learning each day. #FuelTheFuture

Our Student Nutrition Programs welcome students at school with healthy food to help them start their day nourished and ready to learn. 96% of our partner schools report that their students have an increased readiness to learn in relation to their Student Nutrition Program.

95% of our partner schools reported improved academic success with their students in relation to their Student Nutrition Program. We are proud to support students in reaching their full potential at school through nourishing their bodies and minds. #FuelTheFuture

As Halton continues to grow so does our reach. Over 1,000 new students had access to a Student Nutrition Program this year through our program expansion! That is over 96,000 students who now have access to nutritious food at school daily throughout the school year.

We're thrilled to share exciting news! Thanks to our sponsorship of Make Happy Tummies, and millions of Canadians, the recent #MakeHappyTummies campaign raised over $4.4 million, which will make over 2.2 million healthy meals possible. 🎉
