You’re invited to join us around
THE LUNCH TABLE
N4L’s new Monthly Giving Program for our most committed supporters
As a member of The Lunch Table,
you are a HERO to the students of Waterloo Region!
Just $25/month means 1 student gets a meal every single school day for a year!
By joining The Lunch Table, you are joining hands with a dedicated community of over 450 monthly supporters that are ensuring students have access to meals every single school day.
Nutrition for Learning has never just been about “filling bellies” — we are committed to nourishing the future leaders of our community, country and world.
Food at School says We All Belong.
We want to show students that when you’re around a table, sharing a meal with your peers, you belong to a community and are connected to something greater than yourself. In a world of increased isolation, especially amongst youth and teens, is there anything more important right now?
Research shows that consistent, daily access to meals at school…
increases attendance, which has been shown to increases graduation rates
increases attention and focus in the classroom, which positively affects key learning outcomes
increases participation in school sports and other extracurriculars activities, increasing self-confidence and self-esteem
shows benefits for mental, physical and emotional health, including decreased stress and feelings of hopelessness
Are you ready to lead by example? By joining The Lunch Table, N4L’s new Monthly Giving Program, you’re showing the youth in Waterloo Region that they BELONG! Your monthly contribution ensures the students of our region have high-quality meal experiences every single school day.
