Food4Kids Waterloo Region

We are addressing this hunger crisis through our food packages, but we are also delivering hope, showing kids that their community cares, lifting them up, and changing lives. Its so much more than food.

How We Help Food4Kids Waterloo Region works in collaboration with other organizations to ensure there is no gap in children accessing food on a daily basis. Referral & Registration We work closely with the schools to ensure we are helping those who need it most. Students are referred directly by a contact at their school who is aware that they mave have limited access to food. Assembly Volunteers assemble kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare, healthy food items for our kids using carefully-planned menus to supplement their diets when they are NOT in school. This includes fresh fruit, vegetables, breads, cereals, grains, milk, protein, and snacks. We work hard to accommodate special dietary restrictions including halal diets and allergies. Weekend Program: bags containing six meals and snacks School Break Program: bins containing family-size food staples Delivery & Accessibility Food is delivered directly to our students in a non-stigmatizing way. Weekend Program: Food bags are delivered to their schools every Friday where they are discreetly distributed for our kids to take home. School Break Program: Volunteers deliver bins of food to the childs home once a week to supplement and nourish them for the duration of the days they are not in school.

Children ages 1-14 living with chronic hunger from severely food insecure homes during weekend periods and during winter, spring and summer breaks, when kids are not in school and unable to access school nutrition programs.
