MONTREAL – The Telus Friendly Future Foundation has donated $100,000 towards Breakfast Club of Canada’s support of Canadian children and families through the current pandemic.
While the Club usually reaches over 240,000 children daily through school nutrition programs, but “(w)hen schools closed in March, Breakfast Club of Canada’s efforts were immediately focused on finding new ways to reach children and to continue our mission to feed kids in vulnerable situations,” said Daniel Germain, president and founder of Breakfast Club of Canada.
“We quickly created an Emergency Fund and experienced an overwhelming response from many partners who took action and contributed in this effort. We thank the Telus Friendly Future Foundation for making sure that the increasing needs of communities across Canada are met and that we all get through this tough situation.”
This amount will contribute to the Breakfast Club of Canada Emergency Fund, which has allowed for over $8 million to be given to 900 schools and community organizations to ensure children do not suffer from food insecurity through the pandemic.
