It is difficult to believe that in a community like Halton for many children, hunger isn’t just an occasional missed meal; it is a way of life. COVID has been devastating and made this a reality for an even greater number of families. At Food4Kids Halton we believe that child and youth hunger is a community responsibility and that alleviating the effects of poverty and hunger strengthens our community. Food4Kids is a weekend feeding program for children aged 4-14 years with limited or no food during weekend periods and over the summer months. In the last six weeks we have added 85 children to our program & are now feeding more than 800 children in Halton.
