The Power of a Nutritious Breakfast

“A great organization that’s helped so many people over the years. Would highly recommend supporting them in any way you can.” – Nicholas Schembri The Children’s Breakfast Club has been a leader of hope for our children in Southern Ontario for more than 30 years. Their goal is to nourish young minds by offering nutritious meals and creating a caring atmosphere for our spectacular youth!

Nourishing Bodies, Enriching Minds

The Children’s Breakfast Clubs have been providing wholesome meals to various Toronto communities since 1984. At the Breakfast Club locations, a fresh-made meal is provided to children each morning. For kids who are experiencing food insecurity, these meals provide more than just nourishment. Healthy nourishment strengthens their bodies and allows them to achieve focused learning. A full stomach prepares the mind for learning each and every day.

Community Connection

The goal of the Breakfast Club is to encourage a sense of community rather than just provide meals. Volunteers smile as they meet kids, giving them a secure environment where friendships grow for them. Children discover that they are a member of a larger community that looks out for them, especially when experiencing hardships and dealing with uncomfortable situations.

Beyond the Classroom

Additional TCBC Contributions

The club also provides recreational, cultural, and educational events in addition to breakfast. These events, which range from art classes to storytelling sessions, spark imagination and curiosity. The Breakfast Club is aware that education takes place outside of the classroom as well, which is why they are focusing on delivering needs in multiple areas.

Hidden Heroes

A number of community leaders are associated in TCBC, including volunteers and the Toronto Police, Fire, and EMS departments. These individuals get up early for events, prepare veggies, hand out clothing items, assist with item drives and provide love for the children who need them most. Their hearts are large enough to welcome every child who comes through the door, and their passion is forever lasting.

Impact by the Numbers

Food Scarcity Statistics

According to a new research, twice as many people in Toronto are now dependent on food compared to last year. This year’s Who’s Hungry report from Daily Bread and North York Harvest food banks shows that food bank usage has broken yet another record, with over 2.5 million visits between April 2022 and March 2023. This is a 51% increase from the previous year with little signs of slowing down (CBC News, 2023).

How The Children’s Breakfast Clubs contribute

The Children’s Breakfast Clubs offer weekly servings of almost 5,000 meals which are provided to these children. Throughout Toronto and Ontario, our neighbours, friends, and classmates are impacted by food insecurity. The Breakfast Club acts as an organization to help tackle this issue. For every dollar, 87 cents is donated and the lives you touch directly benefit from your donations. Come be apart of this amazing movement because when we invest in our children and in a brighter future for all, everyone succeeds!
