As of July 1st, 2024, Food4Kids Guelph will be part of the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington’s food security programming.
As a result of this partnership, we will no longer be called Food4Kids. Our essential work is now part of the Children’s Foundations new Food Security programming:
Keep Kids Fed – At School - Breakfast, Snack and Lunch Programs (Formerly Children’s Foundation’s Food & Friends Program)
Keep Kids Fed – At Home - Bridging the Weekend and Holiday Gap (Formerly Food4Kids Guelph)
Our program model will not change with this union. Our supporters, and especially the kids we help, can rest assured that we will continue our essential work providing food for the most at-risk local kids during weekends and school holidays. Staff and volunteer leaders with Food4Kids Guelph will join the Children’s Foundation team.
The Children’s Foundation is one of the most respected charities in our region. They have played a leading role in local children’s food security for over 15 years. With our shared knowledge, energies, and experience, we will take advantage of efficiencies to streamline operations and ensure that we can support as many kids as possible during this urgent time of community food insecurity.
