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 schools and our community to ensure we are helping those who need it most. Children can be referred directly by a contact at their school, social workers, members of the community or self-identify.  

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 the children and youth we serve 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 nutritious food packages to the children’s homes once a week to supplement and nourish them for each day they are away from the classroom.
