Every day, local students come to school hungry. For a variety of reasons, including lack of food, a rushed morning, and long bus rides, students arrive hungry, and that's part of the problem.
Whatever the reason, our goal at the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation is to ensure that the children and youth of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties have what they need to succeed. We use the Food for Learning program as one of his ways to accomplish this. This is because we believe that when students eat better, they learn better.
“Currently, Food for Learning programs are being implemented in 69 local schools/alternative learning spaces to ensure that no student goes hungry. The need and impact of local Food for Learning programs is itself says Program Coordinator Vicky Struthers.
We feed an average of over 7,000 students each day. Last year, we served her 1.4 million meals and snacks to students. He spent more than 20,000 hours helping 766 volunteers feed the students. We invest approximately $20,000 in food each week to ensure no student goes hungry.
