Breakfast Anyone?

Student Nutrition Program
News Release

*************************

Area school breakfast programs will be getting a financial boost, thanks to many local grocery stores.

A fundraiser, called “Breakfast Anyone?” will run January 13 – 22, 2012.

The public is encouraged to donate a loonie at the cash register of participating stores.

100% of proceeds stay locally.

It is the only local fundraiser for school nutrition programs.

The Student Nutrition Program supports breakfast and snack programs in 60 Nipissing and Parry Sound schools.

The funding schools receive pays only a small part of the actual cost of feeding students.

Some reasons for children arriving hungry include; long commutes, socio-economic factors, not being hungry upon arising or they have been at school practising sports before classes start.

Several of last year’s participants are coming on board for 2012.

The list of participating stores will be posted as soon as we hear back from everyone.

Please support “Breakfast Anyone?” and help our students to attend class well-nourished and ready to learn.

Please call 476-0974, ext. 46 for more information.

The Student Nutrition Program is proudly sponsored by Community Living North Bay.
