How Your Support Helps Children In Canada

A message from Canadian Feed The Children....

Bringing together Canadian children and nutritious food leads to increased levels of health and alertness, greater awareness of nutrition and improved chances of success in school and life. Thanks to generous donors, Canadian Feed The Children support some of the 1.1 million children affected by poverty across Canada.  We do this through nutrition programs delivered through schools, after-school programs and daycares.  A key criteria for our support requires that services be open to all children regardless of race, gender, culture, religion, family background etc.

These child nourishment programs run across the country, the majority of which are high-nutrition school- and community-based lunch and snack programs. In recent years, Canadian Feed The Children has increased our focus on Aboriginal children's programs, both on and off reserve, by partnering with local organizations and reserve schools in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick. We also have nutrition programs in Newfoundland and Quebec. We are one of the few children’s agencies helping to reduce the impact of poverty on Aboriginal children through nutrition programs.

Your participation in the Fit Body Boot Camp Work-out-Athon will help to bring the gift of healthy eating to so many children across the country. For more information of what Canadian Feed The Children is doing in Canada and around the world, please visit www.canadianfeedthechildren.ca.
