We all appreciate the food that we are now able to provide for the kids. To see them eating a big salad and a hot meal is wonderful, especially because we know that they might not have access to those healthy foods at home. Many are eating a nice breakfast when they get to school and we all know how difficult it can be to get a teenager to eat breakfast. These things make such a difference in their day!

What we do
We provide the following supportive services to help build nourishing food environments in schools:
Help Kids Flourish!
We want to offer meaningful support to all the schools in our region. But we can’t do it alone.
Home cooked
Fun, nourishing meals
Following mother nature’s guidance we create diverse, seasonal and youth friendly menus, and prepare and distribute hundreds of home cooked meals and snacks daily.
Thoughtfully sourced
Grocery items, delivered
Through partnership we help connect school communities with the foods they need to ensure students are nourished and ready to learn. We provide breakfast staples, snacks and other thoughtfully sourced grocery items.
Nourishing learning
Food literacy
We support school gardens and promote good practice in school food services. We believe there is magic in experientially connecting with seeds, gardens, kitchens, and composts.
Our organization is not-for-profit, values oriented and cares deeply about the social and ecological impacts of our food.
We operate on the never surrendered lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən People of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and serve schools across T’Sou-ke, Scia’new, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations.
