We can Fuel the Future of Students Together

December 16, 2024

At Halton Food For Thought, I wear many hats: I’m a board member, a school volunteer, and a monthly donor. But the best part? Being part of an amazing and growing community of people – people like you – who make sure students in Halton have access to healthy food every day of the school year. 

Nourish and Flourish monthly donors, play a special role in this community. It’s not just about the money given – it’s about the trust and steady support provided. My monthly donation isn’t big, but it’s reliable. That helps Halton Food For Thought respond to urgent needs and plan ahead.  

For me, supporting Halton Food For Thought is personal. My grandparents were teachers in Halton, and education has always been important to my family. Knowing kids can focus and succeed in school because they’re well-fed is a legacy I’m proud to carry forward.

I get emotional imagining kids at my son’s school who might be struggling. One organization can’t solve all of the big problems of poverty, but it’s a relief to know that every student has access to fruit, vegetables, proteins and grains in a safe and welcoming environment. That helps all students feel good and ready to learn.  

Our community is what fuels this program. Halton Food For Thought supports 152 schools in Halton – and the list keeps growing – thanks to its volunteers, supporters, and monthly donors like you. I tell friends and parents all the time that this program is an incredible investment. Every dollar goes so far. 

Whether you give $5 or $25 a month, volunteer your time, or encourage others to get involved, you’re making a positive impact. Together, we’re helping students in Halton show up at school ready to learn, grow, and thrive. 

If you have been thinking about becoming a monthly donor like me, joining now is needed more than ever. Together we’re going to make a difference, and it’ll be a privilege to do it with you.

Fuelling the Future Together, 

Kimberly Bowman, Halton Food for Thought Board Member
