MONTREAL, Dec. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, the Government of Canada revealed the details of a $100-million funding package to continue its commitment to supporting children and families experiencing food insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\n A total of $18.5 million<\/strong> has been allocated to Breakfast Club of Canada through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to feed students across the country. Today’s announcement builds on funding previously announced in April and October 2020 for food banks and local food organizations, including Breakfast Club of Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome 250,000\u00a0students usually depend on the Club and its partners for a healthy breakfast every school morning, but the total number of children and youth across the country affected by food insecurity is now greater than 2\u00a0million,\u201d said Daniel Germain, President and Founder of Breakfast Club of Canada. \u201cWe are extremely grateful to be receiving this funding from the Government of Canada to continue to meet the growing demand. At the start of the new school year, breakfast program attendance was up 30% on average across the country and the waitlist for such programs keeps growing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funding committed today will help the Club and its partners support the children who use school food programs across the country. Currently, one in three children<\/strong> starts their school day hungry. The safety measures and necessary program adaptations require additional investment to ensure that children can be delivered meals safely.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity and increased the number of children and families who need support. This funding will allow Breakfast Club of Canada to reach 200,000\u00a0more children before September 2021.<\/p>\n

As Canada looks to build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic, a National School Food Program will be the most effective and sustainable way to fully address the issue of student food insecurity in Canada. Breakfast Club of Canada and its partners look forward to working with the government to make a National School Food Program a reality and making child hunger in Canada a thing of the past. Altogether, in spring and summer 2020, the Club and its community partners helped to deliver nutritious food to more than 2\u00a0million people, including close to 700,000 children.<\/p>\n
