Program Benefits

By partnering with The Sharing Place Food Centre, schools take advantage of our buying power and ability to access healthy, approved student nutrition food items at a reduced cost. 

Through generous community support, The Sharing Place has been able to subsidize each school's entire student nutrition program cost by up to 50% and a dedicated team of Sharing Place volunteers assemble each school's order which is then delivered every 2 weeks in our refrigerated van.

By reducing costs, school funds go further and enable schools to purchase more food and make it available for all students, removing any stigma.

When schools are closed, and throughout the summer, we work with local agencies to provide more than 500 healthy snack bags a week for children and youth in our community.
