Student Nutrition

Food insecurity has a serious impact on a child’s ability to learn. 

When children go to school hungry, their energy, concentration, creativity and behaviour are all affected. School breakfast programs are vital to the health and education of many students in our community. The School Fuel program by The Sharing Place Food Centre delivers healthy food to more than 4500 children in 23 local schools every day. When schools are closed and throughout the summer, we work with school staff and local agencies to provide healthy snack bags for children and youth in the Orillia area.
