Are you ready for Camp Mike’s? ⛺🍔

We sure are. 😋

As kids count down the days until summer camp season begins, adults can look forward to a camp experience of their own at MR MIKES, where guests can enjoy special feature menu items that not only taste delicious, but also help support children in their local communities.

This summer at participating MR MIKES locations, $1 from select menu items will support Make Happy Tummies and local student nutrition programs. Even better? 100% of donations stay in the community - helping more children enjoy healthy breakfasts and start their school days nourished, focused, and ready to thrive.

We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support of MR MIKES and their guests, whose generosity continues to help move children from hungry to happy.

Enjoy! 💛

When communities come together, something shifts - often in ways we don't see right away.

It’s in the small moments.
A child walking into school a little lighter.
A classroom that feels a little calmer.
A morning that starts with possibility instead of worry.

As Principal Bual shared, when a child’s needs are met first thing in the morning, everything that follows has a chance to be better.

And that’s what you've helped create.

Not just meals - but confidence, dignity, and a sense that someone showed up for them.

Thank you for being part of that. Truly. ❤️

One of the moments that stayed with us most from this year’s Make Happy Tummies campaign happened at FreshCo. in Belleville, Ontario. 🙂🍏

It wasn’t just the displays or the ask at checkout - it was the feeling. Neighbours helping neighbours. Small moments of generosity adding up in a big way.

Because behind every donation is something bigger: a child starting their day with a full stomach, a little more confidence, and a better chance to focus, learn, and feel included.

That’s the impact you helped create here.

Thank you FreshCo.for bringing so much heart to this campaign - and to every customer who chose to give. ❤️

That’s a wrap - and wow! What an incredible, heartfelt show of support from communities across Canada.

The end of a campaign isn’t really an ending - it’s the continuation of the impact you’ve helped create in communities across the country.

Meals shared. Confidence built. Days that start just a little bit stronger.

To everyone who generously donated this year, thank you for being part of something that carries forward, well beyond the moment you gave.

As the days grow longer, we look forward to sharing with you the lasting impact of this year’s campaign. ☀️

Every community has its own rhythm. Quiet routines - early mornings, busy households, and finding your seat in class.

But not every child starts the day with the food they need. That’s why Nesters Market's Make Happy Tummies campaign matters, helping ensure children across British Columbia can begin their day nourished and ready to learn.

❤️ Tomorrow is a donation match day.*

Make a difference in-store tomorrow, April 10, or learn more at makehappytummies.ca

☀️There’s a reason mornings matter so much to us all, especially children.

They set the tone and pace for the day ahead, including the level of confidence that a child carries into their day.

When that start includes something nourishing in a supportive environment, everything that follows has a stronger foundation to build upon.

That’s what Freson Bros. is supporting for Albertans through Make Happy Tummies starting tomorrow.

Fresh foods, fresh starts.

🗓️ Donate in-store at Freson Bros.: April 10-23, 2026
💛 Your donations at Freson Bros. will be matched*, doubling the impact for children across Alberta.

Spring means puddles, play, and bright mornings full of possibility. 🌱 And while hats and mitts may be slowly disappearing, the chance for children to learn and thrive is growing strong.

For many children, a simple meal at school can change everything, making them confident and ready to take on the day.

These are the moments that shape childhood - and build the foundation for a stronger future.

Be part of it. Donate today at Buy-Low Foods and Nesters Market to help a child start their day nourished and ready to thrive.

Spring mornings on the West Coast bring fresh air, soft light, and a sense of new possibility in our local communities. 🌸

As the school year continues, many children are still starting their day needing the nourishment to learn, grow, and stay engaged.

Research shows that when kids have access to school meals, they’re more confident, more focused, and better able to succeed in the classroom.

That’s where Buy-Low Foods and Nesters Market customers come in. During matching days*, every donation made in-store becomes part of something bigger - neighbours supporting neighbours, turning everyday grocery trips into meaningful impact for children right here at home.

Because it’s about more than food. It’s about community, connection, and brighter futures - starting with a nourishing morning.

Big news for tomorrow 🎉

At Nesters Market stores across British Columbia, your donation at checkout will be matched* - doubling the impact for kids across Western Canada.

That means twice the breakfasts. Twice the support. Twice the chance for a child to start their day ready to learn.

And the difference is felt right away.

Because of donations like yours, students who might otherwise arrive at school hungry can access a nutritious breakfast as soon as they walk through the doors - helping them feel settled, focused, and ready to take on the day.

And it doesn’t stop there. Food continues to be available throughout the day, keeping kids energized, engaged, and connected in the classroom.

It’s simple: when kids have what they need, they can thrive.

Every donation helps create schools that feel more caring, inclusive, and supportive. Where every child has the chance to succeed.

So while you’re shopping tomorrow, consider adding a donation at checkout. It’s a small act that can make a big difference.
