Explore exciting volunteer roles and make a difference in our school communities!
Halton Food for Thought's Student Nutrition Programs are delivered in 152 partner schools across the region. This is made possible with the support of over 1,600 volunteers yearly. We recognize that volunteers are the key to delivering our programs to hungry students connecting them with the nutritious food they need to support their day ahead.
Experience the joy of seeing grateful students' smiles. Enjoy preparing healthy meals and snacks, and build a sense of community. Return each school year to help students reach their full potential.
Volunteers are school staff, parents, students, partner organizations and people from the community – all who dedicate hours to ensure access to our programs for the students at our partner schools. Through their dedication, over 2,000,000 meals are served each year to hungry students who benefit from increased engagement at school, connections to others and leadership opportunities for students.
We offer various opportunities throughout the school year, especially in the fall. Additional roles may arise based on program needs. All volunteers must complete a screening, including a VSS, with the school they wish to volunteer at.
Some of our programs can welcome small groups of individuals from the community to support their work, up to 5 people. What is most helpful for our programs is consistent group volunteering weekly throughout the year so our Program Coordinators can plan the running of the programs. If you are not sure if you can commit to the program and would like to learn more, reach out to us at info@haltonfoodforthought.com and we would be happy to discuss the opportunity with you further to ensure there is a fit
Our work and programs can provide volunteer opportunities to allow the students who use our programs be able to give back and get involved in their school community. All student volunteer opportunities are managed directly at the school level. Please speak with your program coordinator who manages volunteer opportunities for the program.
