“Not only did the program feed the students but it also allowed us to check in with 40 – 50 students every morning. These brief conversations may seem insignificant but it helped to build a sense of community and care during a school year that has been extremely difficult for all. “
~ Ottawa School Principal, 2021
Join our community of donors
The School Breakfast Program relies on gifts we receive from our community of donors. We use these funds to procure the nutritious meals we serve and to coordinate the many moving bodies that keep our program running.
This year, it costs $25.81 a month to feed a child in our program. We invite you to join ONFE’s Neighbourhood of Monthly Donors today. Monthly donations provide us with a stability that helps us plan better.
Any gift, no matter the amount, one-time or monthly, is always welcome.
However you choose to give, we want you to know one thing – we appreciate you. For being here, for your interest in our program, and for your desire to help children and youth succeed.
Thank you.
