JANUARY 15, 2018 — For many children, hunger isn’t just an occasional missed meal; it is a way of life. Children who live with hunger develop physically and socially at a slower pace than their peers.  Even relatively short-term nutritional deficiencies can negatively impact a child’s health, causing cognitive and developmental damage that prevents them from performing at their full potential.

Food4Kids Hamilton was created to address and diminish child weekend hunger in Hamilton and Halton. Packages of healthy food are prepared by volunteers and delivered to schools each Friday to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend.

At the end of 2017, JNE donated 100% of the funds raised from our holiday party as well as additional funds raised from various events throughout the year.
