Make Happy Tummies

Make Happy Tummies MakeHappyTummies It is enabled by a community of grocery and restaurant partners. Our Vision: No hungry children at school.

Make Happy Tummies (formerly Toonies for Tummies) is a fundraising initiative operated by The Grocery Foundation supporting student nutrition programs across Canada.

"There is a significant percentage of our student population that come from homes experiencing food insecurity." a teacher in Winnipeg Manitoba tells us.

So how can a community get to show up for its children?

At the grocery store, at the school and around the breakfast table.

In the people who volunteer their time, the businesses that give back and in the neighbours who decide to help.

Student nutrition is one of the many ways a community can show up, turning everyday generosity into something a child can experience on a school morning.

And the impact of that support is felt directly in schools.

As a program coordinator in Red Deer, Alberta tells us: “If it weren't for the donations from Make Happy Tummies, we would have to cut back on the number of days we run our Breakfast Program or the quality of our food. We are so grateful for your donations!”.

That’s the heart of Make Happy Tummies.

Communities helping make sure children have what they need to begin the day nourished and ready.

And as that same teacher in Winnipeg shares: “Having guaranteed access to food at school ensures attendance, active participation in school, and increases in student success”

These aren't abstract ideas. They're the experiences of the educators and program leaders seeing the impact in their schools every day. 🩷

We spend a lot of time talking about the first day of school but what about the mornings that come after?

October 7? November 3? January 12? February 24?

The excitement of a new school year may fade into familiar routines, but children's need for nourishment doesn't.

For some students, a school breakfast is a vital part of that everyday routine and it is the key to helping them begin another school morning with food on the table and nourishment for the day ahead.

That’s why partners like Save-On-Foods matter.💚

Earlier this year, their amazing shoppers came together to help provide more than 211,964 nutritious meals to children in their communities.

Because supporting children at school isn't just about giving them a strong start in September.

It’s about being there for the mornings that come after, too.

We talk a lot about giving children a strong start to the school year, but school doesn't stop being important when September ends.

By October, the new backpacks have become part of the morning routine and new classmates are becoming familiar faces.

Lessons are getting underway, friendships are taking shape, and the school year is finding its feet.

But every one of those mornings still begins with the basics - and that includes having enough to eat.

For some children, a school breakfast helps make sure they can start the day nourished and ready to learn, play, and grow.

Because a strong school year isn't built in one month. It's built morning by morning. 🩷

The school year is underway on the West Coast, and the impact of this winter's campaign is here too! 🎉

Thanks to the Safeway Canada community, $704,940 was raised, helping make 352,469+ nutritious meals available to local students.

Months ago, those meals were simply a goal Today, they're part of school mornings - a breakfast before class, a smile around the table, and a little more energy for the day ahead.

And that's the beautiful thing about local generosity: eventually, the numbers become something you can see, feel, and share.

Thank you for helping turn a winter campaign into something that continues well into the school year. 🩷

A breakfast can look like a lot of things:

A child joining the game at recess.

A hand going up in class.

A laugh shared with a friend.

Or the confidence to try something new.

Sometimes, the impact of a meal is easiest to see in everything that comes after it. 🩷
