Welcome to Breakfast for Kids
Breakfast for Kids works to ensure children and youth in the region of Peel attend school well nourished and ready to learn. As a program of the Boys and Girls Club of Peel Region, we provide a warm and safe environment where children and youth can develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. Our programs take a universal approach, and serve all children in the region regardless of socioeconomic status.
There are now more than 150 nutrition programs serving approximately 7,500 students. These programs are run by local committees which may include parents, administrators, teaching staff and volunteers. Local businesses also play a key role in programs by contributing funds, food, and supplies to nutrition programs. Each local nutrition program is uniquely developed and run by the school community to best suits its students' needs.
