It’s hard to believe children in our very own community go hungry, but it’s 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.

Though the spring weather is taking its time, we are already thinking of SUMMER☀️
Have you considered hosting a third-party fundraiser in support of Food4Kids Muskoka?
Whether it’s a backyard BBQ, a community sports tournament or a birthday celebration, every effort helps make a real difference for kids in our community.
Third-party fundraisers are a powerful way to bring people together and turn everyday moments into impact. Plus, they’re flexible, fun to plan, and a great way to engage your friends and family.
Reach out to learn how we can support your event!

We are overjoyed to extend our thanks for a $10,000 donation that has just come through from the Kenny Family Foundation Fund (a fund held within the Oakville Community Foundation) 🤯
As we packed for 425 kids today, we wish to thank the kind hearts who make it happen.
Many thanks from us to you!

We are incredibly honoured to have been nominated for the YWCA Muskoka Women of Distinction Award this year. Being recognized alongside such inspiring, passionate, and dedicated women in our community is something we’re truly grateful for!
Congratulations to this year’s award recipients (shown on the third photo!) Your leadership, impact, and commitment to lifting others up are inspiring and we celebrate you and the meaningful difference you’re making in Muskoka!
Today, on International Women’s Day, we also want to recognize and celebrate all women! The leaders, the caregivers, the innovators, the advocates, and the everyday change-makers who make our communities stronger 💕

It was such a refreshing morning to welcome a super engaged highschool packing team in to help us get ready to deliver bags of food!
They had wonderful questions, thoughtful conversation and RAN (it was hilarious) to get the bags packed.
What a true joy it is to walk alongside the next generation of leaders!

These three started off our next few weeks of bringing teens in to teach them about our program and what healthy volunteerism looks like!
Nova, Jake and Gray are all seasoned volunteers with us as they have packed with us for the past three years as well as offering their help at our fundraisers and events!
➡️ Now, who thinks they’re going to call us cringe and ask to take the photo down? You guys better hurry up and give it AS MUCH LOVE AS YOU CAN, just in case 😉
Thank you, Nova, Jake and Gray!

We were honoured to be invited as guests to the Chef Michael Smith event, Fork & Flame at Deerhurst Resort last night!
Deerhurst has been a loyal supporter of our program since the beginning and the host of our annual Breakfast Gala all while proudly naming us as their charity of choice.
What a 🌟SURPRISE🌟 it was at the end of the dinner to have @chefmichaelsmith surprise the room with a charity auction!
TWO packages were auctioned off to experience @innatbayfortune in beautiful PEI with $2500 raised going towards Food4Kids Muskoka and another $2500 for school food programs in Souris, PEI!
THANK YOU for the fabulous evening, the lovely company and your heartfelt contribution towards kids in Muskoka!

Our biggest request is to help us pack food bags, which we believe is the most feel-good part about what we do 🥰
While each bag is packed with intention it’s also packed with a lot of love knowing that this food bag will land quietly into a child’s backpack and make a real difference at home.
We are so fortunate to have the most loyal packing teams every week - THANK YOU to our amazing volunteers!
