Student Nutrition

FoodShare works with Toronto Public Health and other community agencies to sponsor the Toronto Partners for Student Nutrition, which supports over 300 student nutrition programs in Toronto, as well as helping new programs to start up.

Field to Table wholesale produce distribution also makes fresh fruit and vegetables available at an affordable price to school programs, in order to promote increased consumption amongst children. The Salad Bar project is currently being piloted in schools as a new way to encourage children to get a wide variety of fresh, nutritious foods.

Read more about the Salad bar in the Toolbox section of our online Learning Centre! And purchase our comprehensive manual Salad Bars in Schools: A Fresh Approach to Lunch.

We advocate for funding and infrastructure for community programs, and for a federal universal child nutrition program, which would ensure that every child receives a nutritious meal every day that they are in school.
