we would be lost without food4kids

"Many children have hard-working parents doing their best to provide for their kids, but even with a full time job, they  struggle to feed their families. Hunger is a real problem in our community. I believe Food4Kids Halton is a program that addresses poverty at its very core."

less worry about food

"My girls are much calmer at home when we have the extra food. There is less worry about food and they know they don’t need to worry about me now."

there was often no food in the home

"A student came into my office and seemed embarassed to tell me there was no food in the home and was hungry. I soon learned his father was diagnosed with ALS and his mother left work to care for her husband. Their two income household was reduced to one disability pension. With added medical expenses, there was often no food in the home. Once he began receiving Food4Kids backpacks each weekend, he was less anxious about when he might get to eat again.
I contribute a lot of his success to this fine program, for helping this child to excel. His grades have improved, his behavior is better and appears so much happier. Thank you for your support in helping this child and his family."
