The reality of child hunger became clear through this experience. A steering committee was formed in November 2011 to determine the need and scope of developing a weekend feeding program for at-risk children within Hamilton and Halton. 

A program model was developed with a focus on 3 distinct areas:

  1. Food provided in food packages would be healthy
  2. Each child in the home would receive their own food package, to ensure nourishment of all children in the home
  3. To ensure a non-stigmatizing process to distribute food packages to participants 

We currently provide more than 800 healthy food packages that are distributed in 97 schools in Halton, Ontario.
