When a child arrives at school hungry, it affects their ability to learn and thrive. Letā€™s make sure that every student has the food they need to achieve their full potential.

This holiday season, the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) invites our community to come together and support the Nutrition for Learning’s Meal Mission Fundraising Campaign.

Make a Difference for WRDSB Students

More than ever, food insecurity is of critical concern across Waterloo Region. With the rising cost of food and basic needs, many WRDSB families and students are struggling. They need our help.

Thatā€™s why school nutrition programs, such as Nutrition for Learning, are so important to WRDSB students.

Every Donation Counts

Whether you donate $1 or $100, your contribution funds a student nutrition program that removes the barrier to accessing healthy and nutritious food. If you are in a position to donate, please consider giving the gift of healthy food that will nourish and fuel our students.

If you donate through our link, 100% of your donation stays within WRDSB schools. We are accepting donations until Friday, December 22, 2023.
