We’re pleased to announce the first recipients of the nourish to flourish grant stream, established in partnership with Farm Boy, Sustain Ontario and Farm to Cafeteria Canada.
With a vision to develop an ecosystem where children not only eat nourishing food but also develop a deep understanding and appreciation for food, the nourish to flourish school grant program supports in-school meal programs as well as food literacy programming in Ontario K-12 schools. The program is providing grants of $500, $1,000, and $3,000 to 30 schools for a total of $55,000.
These grants will allow schools to offer educational experiences such as immersive trips to farms, school gardens, and guest speaker events, and to purchase equipment and/or food that is as fresh, healthy, culturally appropriate and as locally and sustainably sourced as possible.
Learn more about the grants here.
Beyond the school-based program activities, grant-recipient schools will also have opportunities to connect, share, and learn from each other, facilitated by Farm to Cafeteria Canada and Sustain Ontario.
