We're addressing HUNGER in the Muskoka Community one food package at a time

Last week we were honoured to do a presentation about our program at @muskoka_christian_school to a grade 4 and 5 class.

These students had such fantastic and curious questions and were fully engaged for the entire hour. With Easter coming up they decided to make some beautiful cards and thanks to our awesome friends D and W (and their amazing parents @muskokatimbermills) all 312 kids will have some added care put into their bags this week.

When the community cares and is invested in the purposeful work of your program, it means a great deal!!

All our thanks to these awesome kids!

A huge thank you to the Feed Muskoka Fund at the Muskoka Community Foundation for their generous support. 🙏

🌟 Huge thanks to the amazing team at Kawartha Credit Union for rolling up their sleeves and helping us pack food bags for local kids! Not only did they bring their energy and kindness into our space, but they also gave a generous $3,000 donation to support our mission. 💙

Because of community champions like Kawartha Credit Union, we can continue providing nutritious food to children facing food insecurity in Muskoka. Your support makes a real difference, and we are so grateful!

💙 The Heart of Food4Kids Muskoka: Our Volunteers

One of the greatest gifts of this work is the relationships we’ve built with the incredible people who give their time to make a difference. Volunteers like Wendy and Monica have become more than just helping hands—they are part of the Food4Kids Muskoka family.

Through picking, packing, and delivering food, they have not only helped ensure kids in our community have the nourishment they need but have also shared their kindness, laughter, and generosity with us. Their dedication is a reminder that this work isn’t just about food—it’s about connection, care, and community.

We are so grateful for Wendy, Monica, and every volunteer who has become part of this journey. 💙

One of the best things about working with Sarah Thatcher is that she reminds us: Charities can be FUN 🤩

Yes, we do serious work and tackle big challenges but that doesn’t mean we can’t bring joy, laughter and energy into everything we do.

Whether it’s organizing an exciting event, celebrating a big milestone or just sharing a moment of gratitude with our incredible supporters, Sarah makes sure that kindness and community go hand in hand with FUN!

When people enjoy giving back, they want to do it again and that is how we build a stronger, more connected Muskoka!

KID HEROES live here and today we’d love for you to meet Auston!!

Last week, Auston celebrated his 6th birthday and requested donations instead of gifts 🥹 With his request, his friends all showed up with a contribution that allowed us to buy a huge amount of snacks for kids in our program.

Over $400 worth!!!!! 🥹 🤩

We invited Auston in today to take a photo with all of the amazing food products that would be going home to the 310 kids in our Weekends Without Hunger program!

Thank you, Auston, for your big heart and huge contribution to your community!!!!
