Works to ensure students eat a well-balanced and nutritious breakfast, lunch or snack in a nurturing environment while increasing their knowledge of good nutrition and improving their physical, mental and social well-being.
Student Nutrition Program (Allocations): Student Nutrition Programs (SNPs) offer food in every publicly funded elementary and secondary school within KFL&A. School coordinators receive weekly shipments from the Food Sharing Project and prepare nutritious breakfasts, snacks, and/or lunches on a daily basis that are accessible to all students.
Online Instructional Supports for Student Nutrition Coordinators (CIF): Grant to develop online instructional e-learning courses to provide the school coordinators of the Student Nutrition Program with standardized, easy to follow information and instruction on operating their in-school healthy meal and snack program. Courses include a self-paced e-learning module, integrated instructional videos, and quick reference checklists.
Food Friends (CIF): As the demand for meal and snack programs at schools continues to rise, the program works with school coordinators to assess their needs, then recruit and train volunteers who support a specific school on a regular basis to prepare and distribute more nutritionally robust meals and snacks.
