2026 WAS A YEAR OF IMPACT
Together, we helped make sure more children had access to nutritious food when they needed it most.
Over $2.5M was raised to support more than 27 organizations helping ensure children had access to nutritious food at school, throughout the summer and, for some children, on weekends.
This impact builds on nearly five decades of bringing people together to help nourish children and families across Canada.
BEHIND EVERY NUMBER IS A CHILD.
The impact goes far beyond the dollars raised.
Every contribution helped organizations provide children with access to nutritious food, creating healthier days, stronger communities and brighter futures.
With your generous contribution, we are keeping our promise to thousands of kids each school week to ensure they are not going hungry. From Alert Bay to Fernie and Victoria to Fort St. John, we fill their backpacks with meals and snacks to last them all weekend long.

The impact goes far beyond nutrition, it builds confidence, improves focus, and helps every child feel cared for and ready to learn. We are deeply grateful for the generosity and partnership that makes this possible. These programs don't just fill plates, they fill hearts and strengthen our entire community.
Teacher
We are so lucky to have amazing, community-minded leaders like yourselves, thinking and watching out for us, way over here. You all live the example of what a collective and supportive Canada we can truly be when we work together. It is such an honour to partner in this fight against food insecurity for future generations.
Patrick Jawes, Executive Director at Victoria Rainbow Kitchen
ONE NIGHT. A LASTING IMPACT.
Retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, foodservice partners, industry allies and communities came together to make this impact possible.
