There are 196 school days in a year. Gifts of the Heart Brantford's 100% volunteer-run program aims to feed 250 food-insecure elementary school children a day which results in providing approximately 50,000 free meals to kids in the 2022/2023 academic year. With bulk food donations, purchased food items, and volunteer meal prep, we aim to provide nutritious meals at a cost of roughly $2 per meal. The program will cost approximately $100,000 per year.
Our program aims to create a welcoming space for all community partners who are looking to support our program with a Gift-In-Kind food donation. This can include a grocery store gift card, bread donation, deli meat, produce, meat products, dairy products, canned items, pasta, rice etc. in bulk for our meal program.
WE ACCEPT ALL PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN NUTS
We can arrange pick up or items or we can arrange a drop off location.
