About Breakfast Club of Canada

Since 1994, Breakfast Club of Canada has been working with partners from all sectors to help children access a nutritious breakfast and reach their full potential. Accredited by Imagine Canada for its effective governance and recognized for its promotion of local food products, the Club helps reach children in every province and territory across the country.

The number of empty stomachs in schools is growing. We need your help.

Every donation, every partnership, every act of solidarity brings us closer to our goal: no child should learn on an empty stomach.

Key Facts

More than ever, hunger is following children back to school.
We know that children cannot learn on an empty stomach. Skipping breakfast impacts attention, memory and learning in general and these effects worsen throughout the morning.
The Club aims to maintain its activities and reach more children through existing breakfast programs by providing nutritious food in schools, ensuring a complete nutritional offering that includes foods from all three categories of Canada’s Food Guide: protein, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.
This Back-to-School season, as millions of students prepare to return to school, a harsh reality is knocking at our doors: more children than ever will be turning to breakfast programs during the upcoming school year.
In the current socio-economic climate, the pressures faced by families, schools, programs, and unfortunately, children, are numerous and increasing.
Schools supported by the Club report that the increased demand for their program is one of their main challenges.
Education is essential. So is nutritious food. Let’s make the choice to help feed children at school.
