Together We Can Boost Kids’ Health and Potential

The Grocery Foundation supports student nutrition programs through efforts focused in three key areas: our Toonies for Tummies fundraising campaign supported by shoppers, retailers and sponsors; our Night to Nurture Gala and a Breakfast Program which provides schools vouchers for healthy products at a discount.

When we feed a child good things happen

Feeding Kids in Your Community

Canadians are known around the world for jumping in and helping others, causes and challenges. Feeding hungry children and shoppers’ support of Make Happy Tummies over the years is further evidence of that giving spirit. It’s simple, donate at a participating retailer during their Make Happy Tummies campaign window. When the campaign returns, you may also wish to make your donation during a Match Funds day when retailers match donations made by shoppers.

We’ve also made enhancements to our online donation capabilities, making it easier for you to not only make a donation at the store, but help feed children several meals during the year.
