Food4Kids Brighter Futures
Would you like to join an upstream initiative that aims to end childhood hunger in our communities? If so, this event is for you. According to the Region of Waterloo, about ten percent of households face food insecurity. It is estimated that 4,000 children in our community lack access to the nourishment they need for mental, physical, or social development. Being part of the Food4Kids Family means helping to steer children and youth toward a healthy future, with improved food security, lower anxiety and depression, better focus at school, enhanced memory, fewer absences, and an overall improved mood. This support allows kids to be kids. We would be honoured if you would join us in celebrating the incredible work being done in the community to support at-risk youth and children.
When: Tuesday, May 12th, 2026
Place: Hacienda Sereda – 1254 Union St, Kitchener, ON N2H 6K4
Time: 7:45 am – 9:30 am
The schedule will be announced soon and promises to be a memorable experience.
