👉In Hamilton and Niagara, the reduction or cancellation of school breakfast programs has sparked concern among students and educators. At Westdale Secondary School in Hamilton, where the breakfast program served around 100 students daily, its cancellation in February left many students without a vital source of nutrition. Similar cutbacks are occurring across the region due to increasing demand, soaring food costs, and declining donations. Despite the promise of a national school food program in the federal budget, which providers are eagerly awaiting details on, approximately 30% of Hamilton's high-need schools are scaling back their nutrition programs. These cutbacks mean offering fewer food options or consolidating multiple meal programs into one. The challenges faced by these programs highlight the urgent need for sustainable solutions to ensure no student goes hungry.✅ . 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞- 𝐀𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮!
