School Meal Program

BUILT ON STRONG FOUNDATIONS

The School Meal Program we know today is built on decades of leadership, volunteerism, and partnership. Across our district, volunteers, parents, school staff, and local organizations have been feeding students for many years. These long-standing efforts laid the foundation for everything that has followed.

Provincial investments through Feeding Futures and Canada's National School Food Program have allowed us to expand access, strengthen partnerships, invest in infrastructure, and build on the incredible work already happening in our schools and communities.

Together, we're ensuring every student has access to nourishing food in welcoming, inclusive environments where they can learn, grow, and thrive.

How can my student access the School Meal Program?

Enrolling your student in the School Meal Program is easy! Simply contact your school secretary to learn more. Our program operates on the principle that everyone is welcome, and no student will be turned away. Enrollment helps us plan and order food effectively to meet student needs. While provincial funding provides crucial support, community donations – whether monetary or volunteer time – are essential to bridging the gap and keeping the program running sustainably.

For families and community members who would like to support the program, there are several ways to help:

Donate: Donations help provide meals to students right here in our district. The suggested contribution is $100 per month per participating student (approximately $5 per school day), but any amount is appreciated and all contributions are voluntary.
Volunteer: Opportunities are available to help with meal preparation and distribution, with flexible commitments depending on location and need.
Spread the word: Sharing information about the program and opportunities to support it helps strengthen school food in our communities.
