Thousands of children in Edmonton go to school hungry each day. Hunger is a barrier to learning. Kids who go to school hungry struggle to thrive as learners. A balanced lunch at school sets children up for success in their school community. When students are packing and delivering those lunches to other kids — THAT is community in action.
Lunches for Learning believes every kid deserves a healthy start and a chance to succeed. By empowering students who are inspired to help other students and together with the support of our volunteers, they pack and deliver healthy lunches to kids in need.
We deliver over 10,000 lunches a year to students who experience food insecurity in Edmonton!

It's heartwarming to see how grateful the students are when they are given a healthy lunch. One grade two student stands out in my memory when he asked me what kind of sandwich he was eating. I replied "turkey". His eyes lit up and he told me he'd never tasted a turkey sandwich before and that he loved it. I can't even try to imagine how tough the school day would be for so many of our students if they couldn't get a healthy lunch to eat at school.Patti Courchesne, EA St. Brendan School
