Together with our community, Food4Kids Waterloo Region’s mission is to provide packages of nutritious, healthy food to children ages 1-14 living with chronic hunger from severely food insecure homes throughout Waterloo Region. We provide food to children in need when they are not in school, which is 40 weekends of the school year and 90 days of school breaks. With the help of hundreds of volunteers, we deliver food directly to the children, by inserting highly nutritious food packages into backpacks at school before the child goes home for the weekend or delivering food boxes directly to their homes during school breaks. We currently support 1,200 children living with severe food insecurity who are referred to us by teachers and social workers in schools who see vulnerable children coming to school hungry and without daily food. We serve children of all backgrounds and cultures, including new Canadians, Indigenous People, and Black or Persons of Colour. We are one of the few local organizations that provide food that meets cultural requirements (ie. Halal), and dietary and allergy restrictions.
