Show Kids You Care makes a difference
in the lives of children right here in Canada each school
day. Through breakfast clubs as well as lunch and snack
programs across the country we make sure hungry children
have access to nutritious food. Right now, over 130,000
children are being fed by our programs.
Though we are proud of the work we are doing, our target is
still much higher -- every day in Canada, over 1.1 million
children face the devastating effects of poverty. And on
average, 1 million of these kids arrive at school without
food in their stomachs and often without a lunch to look
forward to.
Children living in poverty are experiencing chronic hunger.
They are missing meals regularly, and when they can eat, too
often it is less expensive, less nutritious food. The
effects of this, during the critical years of childhood, are
serious. The well-being of children in communities across
the country is at stake, but Show Kids You Care steps into the lives
of hungry children to make a difference every day.
