Do you remember those times? Racing home with pure excitement. Whether it was about presents, play dates with friends, or simply the freedom of no school, you couldn’t wait to get home. However, this is not the reality for some kids in our community. Some who don’t have enough food to eat at home actually dread the 17 days off for winter break when they don’t have access to food from the school nutrition program.

This is the reality for over 3,000 kids in the Waterloo Region. They are facing empty cupboards and chronic hunger this holiday season. Severe food insecurity is a serious problem facing children and families in Waterloo Region.

Child Hunger Doesn’t Take Winter Break Off.

Please give to Giving4Kids, where your donation will help provide food directly to vulnerable kids who do not have enough to eat on weekends and breaks. Together we can help reach more children living with chronic hunger.
