Building
Brighter
Futures
“
When a child’s
stomach is empty,
everything else is secondary.
Before developing a thirst
for knowledge and a hunger for
learning, one must first satisfy the
body’s thirst and hunger.
”
Romeo LeBlanc, Former Governor General of Canada.
Breakfast Club of Canada is
built on a dream; a dream that all children and
youth will have an equal chance to succeed in school
and in life by starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in a
safe and supportive environment.
At the Club, we believe that every child and youth deserves every opportunity to
thrive, learn, dream and grow to reach their full potential. Where there is a breakfast
club, there are students who flourish because they are well nourished, cared for and
supported. They learn the value of healthy food while experiencing warmth and kindness
from the volunteers who help make breakfast every day.
Breakfast Club of Canada is delighted you have joined the growing family of individuals
across Canada and beyond who are supporting student success through breakfast clubs.
Reaching our mission wouldn’t be possible without you! We are committed to partnering with
schools, community organizations, and other important stakeholders because we know that a
coordinated and collaborative response to addressing the needs of children and youth leads
to greater improvements in student learning, health and wellbeing. By working together,
we will make a real and lasting difference in the lives of our children and youth.
Thank you for helping us change the world, one breakfast at a time!
“
Sincerely,
I see students
who are more
engaged in learning,
getting better test scores,
and showing more positive
behaviour – all because they can
focus better from having their
nutritional needs met.

I never had
kiwis before joining
the breakfast program.
Now I try all kinds
of stuff.

Sometimes it’s not
just about the food, it’s about
building their spirit and also building
community spirit. It is actually quite
amazing what can develop from a
breakfast program.
