Overview
Project Summary:
Fort Macleod is located between two large First Nations Reserves and has a poverty level significantly higher than the AB Provincial average. Fort Macleod Kids First Family Centre seeks to provide a nutritious breakfast and/or lunch to children living in poverty that might otherwise not receive adequate food on any given day. Research shows that children have difficulty learning and often do poorly in school if they are hungry. Our program not only meets an immediate need, but potentially may help to break the cycle of poverty as these children excel in their studies, graduate from high school and acquire post secondary education.
Deliverables:
- An average of 28 children served breakfast each day in elementary and middle schools
- An average of 59 children served lunch each day in all four local schools
- Over 200 community volunteers involved
- Coverage of Pepsi Refresh financial support in local media
