Volunteer With Us

Be Part of Something Bigger — Help Us Fuel the Future. Together, we are creating brighter futures for the children we serve.

For over 40 years, The Children’s Breakfast Clubs has provided more than just a healthy start to the day — we’ve offered a foundation of nourishment, education, and hope for children across Southern Ontario. Volunteers are at the heart of this mission. By giving your time, compassion, and energy, you help kids overcome challenges and build brighter futures.

Why Volunteer?
  • Make a real impact on the lives of children facing food insecurity and limited access to resources.
  • Grow personally and professionally through meaningful experiences and new friendships.
  • Support holistic child development by being part of a program rooted in health, education, and community.
  • Be part of a passionate team committed to building stronger, healthier communities — one child at a time.

“Volunteers are the heartbeat of TCBC — creating a safe, loving space where children feel seen, supported, and empowered.”

Volunteer Roles

Whether you’re helping serve meals, assisting with reading programs, or leading recreational activities, every role matters. Current opportunities include:

  • Meal Prep and Service Volunteers (Breakfast and Lunch Program)
