Food Is Belonging — Community Survey 🍎🤝

Food Is Belonging — Community Survey

Let's transform what's possible for young people together. Nutrition for Learning has been providing nourishment at schools for 30 years. In the 26-27 school year, we're piloting transformative projects at several Waterloo Region schools, to demonstrate what's possible when all students share a nourishing meal together in the school day. Around the globe, "food for all" school programs are the gold standard. Let's put Waterloo Region on the map by co-designing programs that welcome everyone to the table.
