Food for Learning Friday!! 🍏✨

Frankford Public School is doing incredible things with their Student Nutrition Program!
From healthy, delicious options to bright smiles and a warm, welcoming environment, Frankford is truly bringing the community together through good food.
We are so grateful for the dedicated staff and volunteers who work so hard to nourish their school community, and for the students who participate with so much enthusiasm! 🍎❤️

"They [students] all came together, socialized, tried new things, were so polite... many offered to help clean up afterwards. It was so good for the soul and the school community!!!”
— Dedicated Frankford Food for Learning Program Coordinator

Thank you, Frankford Public School, for making a difference every single day! 🙌 Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board

It takes a village to nourish students! ❤️

We’re proud to share what’s happening at St. Paul Catholic Secondary School, where a community of passionate people come together to ensure students have access to nutritious food every school day.

From dedicated volunteers to supportive school staff and administration, this program is a wonderful example of what’s possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose.

A big thank-you to everyone who helps make programs like this possible. You’re making a difference, one meal at a time! 🍎

Interested in volunteering with Food For Learning? There’s a place for you in our village!

Vicky and Ashlyn made a trip up to Bancroft earlier this week to visit a few of the incredible Student Nutrition Programs in the North! 🍎✨
A big thank you to every student, staff member, and volunteer at all four schools for making their visits so warm and welcoming! ❤️
It is truly incredible to see the impact of a Food for Learning program in action—and the amazing community support that drives it. Food isn’t just about fueling bodies; it’s about connection, community, and belonging. And the North absolutely gets it! 🌲🙌
Thank you for having us—we had such a wonderful time! 📸✨

Happy ! 🥚✨ Did you know today marks 30 years since World Egg Day was first celebrated in Vienna back in 1996?

Here are a few quick reasons to celebrate the humble egg today:
💪 Complete Nutrition: Eggs carry all 9 essential amino acids, making them a complete protein.
🛡️ Body & Immune Support: The protein in eggs helps build muscle and supports a strong immune system.
📍Local Impact: More than 1,290 Canadian egg farmers work year-round to deliver over 11 billion fresh eggs to our tables every year!

How are you cooking up your eggs? Scrambled, poached, or fried? Let us know in the comments below!🍳👇

Food For Learning Friday! 🍎

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on Central Hastings School - K-12, where the Food for Learning program is fueling student success each and every day.

While the food powers their day, the heart of this program goes so much deeper; building a strong sense of community, connection, and support.
Student volunteers are helping with their school's student nutrition program to learn the value of giving back, taking true pride in serving their peers and strengthening their school community.

We couldn’t be more proud of our dedicated volunteers for the care, enthusiasm, and commitment they bring to the program. Thank you!

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to Madoc IKO for their generous donation to the local Food for Learning program at Central Hastings School - K-12.
You’re contribution is supporting local students, by ensuring that they can EAT. LEARN. SUCCEED. Food for Learning can’t do what it does, without great community support such as yours.
Thank you for taking the time to visit Central Hastings for the cheque presentation, we all truly appreciate it!
