About this service
There are over 5,900 children in the Central Okanagan that live in a food insecure home and are at risk of going to school hungry. Since 2009, Food for Thoughts aim has been to eliminate hunger in children, one child at a time, through various programs.
We know that a hungry child is more likely to act out and less likely to achieve their personal potential. We have seen happy productive classrooms with reduced behavioral problems, increased academic performance, and a stronger sense of community.
Food for Thought provides free breakfast for up to 1600 school-aged children a day across 30 schools
The Backpack Program ensures students do not have to go through their weekends with empty stomachs
Food for Thought is run by one full time staff coordinator and a team of dedicated volunteers.
