CALS Breakfast Club
To help address food insecurity in our local elementary schools, CALS Breakfast Club has provided a mid- morning snack three days a week to over 600 children attending three schools in Vegreville since 1998. Snacks are prepared by a team of volunteers including parents, seniors, students and special needs adults. Provision are made daily for students who have identified allergies or dietary restrictions. This program is offered at no charge to families. |
CALS Breakfast Clubs improves readiness to learn by decreasing hunger as a barrier to learning. It aims to model healthy food choices and helps to decrease disruptive classroom behaviors that are often associated with hunger. This program is solely funded by donations, corporate grants and community based fundraising initiatives. Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer, fundraise and/or make a cash donation to support the programs.
We are grateful for support from all donators and community volunteers.
