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

There are 1,000+ kids in Muskoka with limited or no access to food each weekend.

It’s hard to believe children in our very own community go hungry, but it’s a reality faced by children every day.

While hunger exists around the world, we hope to address hunger in our home community.

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.

Each month we provide 760 weekends without hunger!

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!

💙 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!

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!!!!
