Children cannot learn when they are hungry, but an estimated 1 in 4 Canadian children do not get enough food.
As more and more families struggle with the rising cost of groceries and other necessities, school food programs should be part of the solution, but they are underfunded and have long waitlists to meet the need for nutritious food.
Download and sign my petition to tell the government to increase provincial funding to meet student's basic nutritional needs now, and sign on immediately to the National School Food Program.
