SNACKS FOR KIDS

1 in 5 Vancouver Kids go to School Hungry

 

Vancouver Firefighters believe that no child should go hungry in a Vancouver School. With this in mind, VFC partners with the Vancouver School Board (VSB) to provide nutritional support to kids and families who need our help. Our Snacks for kids program provides nutritional support to 5,000 food insecure Youth. we are operating in over 60 Vancouver schools and after school programs. This equates to our volunteers delivering over 350,000 snacks per school year.

Snacks for Kids distributes food discreetly through an accessible distribution system that allows the child to participate anonymously without fear of humiliation or being judged by peers.

VFC strives to provide the most nutrition for a student through a cost effective approach. The ultimate goal is to nourish students for learning. The program focuses on providing healthy nutrient-dense foods that fuel kids for learning.

The Snacks for Kids Program is funded by Vancouver Firefighter payroll donations and by fundraising events. Food support goes only to those children who are not having their nutritional needs met at home or by other support services.

Additionally, Glowbal Restaurant group has agreed to generously donate 1000 freshly prepared meals every month that Snacks For Kids then distributes to 8 different schools in Vancouver. 250 healthy meals are delivered every Wednesday to schools with a large population of food insecure children.
