The Ontario government is investing an additional $5 million this year in the Student Nutrition Program and the First Nations Student Nutrition Program to help school-aged children get the nutrition they need for academic success.

While funded in part by the Ontario government, these programs are also supported by the generosity of local community members who donate their time and money.

Your participation will be giving hope and nourishment to young minds across the province – even in the most remote communities.

Check out the Food For Kids Annual Report for 2020-2021. A lot of hard work went into supporting families and kids especially during the pandemic.

Canada’s Food Guide has been updated!  Highlights include focusing on unprocessed, whole foods, more fruits and veggies, and water as the primary drink.  The good news for Student Nutrition Programs is that the 2016 Ontario SNP Nutrition Guidelines are well aligned with the new Canada Food Guide, so for SNPs, it’s (nutrition) business as usual!
