These are the startling facts:

• 46% of food bank recipients in Waterloo Region are children

• 31% of grade 4 students do not eat breakfast; by high school this ratio increases to 62%

• Childhood obesity has tripled since 1981 partially due to eating prepackaged convenience foods high in salt, fat and sugars

• Children born in the year 2000 and later are expected to be the first generation to not outlive their parents.

The Need

Nutrition for Learning has been a registered charitable organization since 1997. We support community based nutrition programs committed to improving the learning capacity, health and well being of children and youth in Waterloo Region.

Research has proven that students coming to school hungry don’t perform well in the classroom, have difficulty concentrating, display behavioural problems, are less alert and are often lethargic. Our programs impact the physical, cognitive, behavioural and academic needs of children and youth in Waterloo Region.
