Itโs hard to believe children in our very own community go hungry, but itโs a reality faced by children every day.
Food4Kids provides packages of healthy food for kids aged 4-13 years with limited or no access to food each weekend.
The food packages are assembled by volunteers and delivered to schools each Friday to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend.
The worsening economy, job loss, working poor, illness, mental health, marriage breakdown or those fleeing their home country to seek safe refuge in Canada, are some of the reasons parents turn to Food4Kids for support.

These photos are from last yearโs BREAKFAST GALA and you can see all the smiles!
THIS YEAR we have added more FUN like AI Photo Booths, a 360 Camera and a LIVE food packing station so you can actively pack the bags that will be delivered to schools ๐ฅน
We are 45% SOLD OUT so far and are still selling tables which you can book on our website: www.food4kidsmuskoka.ca
Your IMPACT is great and we canโt wait to see you there!
Date: Wed. Nov. 12

๐ฅฐ We are so grateful to Stella Keay for the passion and energy she has brought to Food4Kids Muskoka as a valued member of our Board of Directors.
Beyond her thoughtful leadership, Stella has given countless hours volunteering to pack bags, ensuring local children have the nutrition they need each weekend to learn, grow, and thrive.
As she embarks on an exciting new chapter with a big move ahead, we want to thank Stella for her advocacy, insight, and unwavering commitment to our mission.
Her dedication both at the board table and behind the scenes has made a lasting impact. While we will miss her presence here in Muskoka, we know she will continue to make a difference wherever she goes. Stella leaves with our gratitude, admiration, and warmest wishes for all that lies ahead. ๐

๐คฏ Huge shoutout to the incredible team at Kasa Kana! ๐
Through their Kasa Cares fundraising event last week, all three Muskoka locations came together and raised an amazing $1,322 in support of Food4Kids Muskoka! ๐ Aren and Melissa (pictured here) were so happy to be a part of this and it makes us so happy!
Not only were they thrilled to help, but they showed once again what true champions of the community look like. Their generosity means more children right here in Muskoka will head into the weekends with full bellies and happy hearts.
Please join us in giving a BIG thank you to Kasa Kana for their heart, their energy, and their commitment to making Muskoka stronger. ๐ #KasaCares #Food4KidsMuskoka #CommunityChampions
