School nutrition programs feed kids during the school day, but there is a clear gap: Kids living in deep poverty go hungry on the weekends. Since 2012, Food4Kids has been filling this gap with the Weekends Without Hunger and Summer programs to keep kids fed all year round.
There are now chapters in Halton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Muskoka, Niagara, and Toronto providing healthy food packages to more than 4,100 children.
