Many children and youth in Halton live without the basic necessities that many of us take for granted. They lack warm homes, food to eat or a caring person to ensure they have what they need to grow and achieve a bright future. Often, these children are sent to school without the proper nutrition to allow them to focus and excel. Put simply, they are too hungry to learn.
Halton Food for Thought provides breakfast, lunch or healthy snack programs at school or community-based sites throughout Halton. There are over 140 sites in Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Georgetown and Halton Hills providing nutritious food to 13,000 students. Programs are set in a safe, caring and welcoming environment where children and youth can develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
