The Children's Breakfast Clubs

The Children's Breakfast Clubs For more than 35 years, we have provided healthy meals and educational, cultural, & recreational activities to thousands of children across Southern Ontario

The Children’s Breakfast Club History

In 1984, after consultation with community residents and the Metropolitan Toronto Housing Authority, the first Children’s Breakfast Club was opened in the Jane/Falstaff community. It was determined that many community needs and concerns could be addressed with a breakfast program:

A nutritious start to the day for children to help prevent behavioural problems, limited attention span, truancy and frequent tardiness
A safe place for parents to leave their children when they go to work. A warm and caring environment where children feel safe and supported. History PictureToday, the Children’s Breakfast Clubs operate programs in 20+ communities. The Clubs are established in collaboration with a number of community partners, including residents, agencies, schools and organizations. Each Club has a community advisory board of concerned residents who advise staff and shape program to best meet the needs of the community.

And those numbers are only GROWING 🚀

At our core, we believe that no child should start their school day hungry.

Currently, we serve over 10,000 meals per week in more than 40 communities across Southern Ontario.

While our roots are in breakfast, we have expanded to include lunch programs at select clubs, ensuring children receive nutritious meals throughout the day to support their growth, learning, and overall well-being.

It takes a village to do what we do…

And we are so exceptionally thankful for our full time staff and volunteers that help make sure our meals go off without a hitch.
Anywhere from 65 staff and approx 10 to 20 volunteers use all hands on deck each week to make sure we’re doing everything we can for our students to have the best start to their day.

Lunch is served! 🍔

That’s right, we might be The Children’s BREAKFAST Clubs, but we have such a bigger mission than just one meal a day. We started expanding our programming in 2022 and we’ve only continued to grow and serve more students since then.

Huge thanks to Rukhsar Jaffer Photography for capturing the joy and heart that goes into our lunch programs!

We love hearing how our programs are making a difference! 💛

“(As a school) we have really seen the benefits of a nutritious hot breakfast. The generosity and general well-being initiatives are overwhelming. They have really touched many of our families. We absolutely adore our program leaders Morvia and Shanel. We look forward to growing success for years to come with our continued partnership with the Children’s Breakfast Club.”

A huge thank you to this amazing school principal for the kind words about our warm breakfasts and wonderful program leaders, Morvia and Shanel.

Here’s to another school year of partnership and fueling the future together.

We’re expanding our programs this year, but we need your help gearing up the kitchen! 🍳✨

To get our 2026/2027 programs up and running, we are raising monetary donations to equip our spaces.

Your financial support will go directly toward purchasing essential kitchen gear (like fridges, grills, pots, and utensils) so we can prepare meals for those who need them most.

Every dollar brings us one step closer to feeling the future 💛
