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.

๐ Food4Kids Muskoka is thrilled to announce our new community strategy with the Huntsville OPP!
Through this initiative, OPP officers will carry smaller versions of our food bags in their cruisers, ready to provide immediate support to kids and families in need.
This partnership goes beyond policingโitโs about building a stronger, more compassionate community together. ๐
Thank you Officer Edward Warman, Community Safety Officer and Media Officer and the Huntsville OPP for stepping up to fight hunger and bring hope where itโs needed most. Together, weโre making sure no child in Muskoka goes hungry! ๐

We loved having Brad from the Huntsville Firefighters Association join us in the warehouse with a super generous cheque from their Chase The Ace local lottery.
This lottery is run with the intention to give back to organizations that address food insecurity in Huntsville.
We are so thankful for the team and community effort it takes to continue feeding kids!
