Breakfast Club of Canada is a national charitable organization dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential by starting the school day with nutritious food. Founded in 1994, the Club works with partners across the country to help schools implement sustainable breakfast programs that support children and youth aged 0–18. Today, Breakfast Club of Canada supports more than 5,000 breakfast programs and reaches over 890,000 children every morning, helping create caring and inclusive school environments where students can thrive.

The need for school food programs remains significant in Canada. One in three children arrives at school hungry almost every day, which directly impacts their ability to focus, learn, and fully participate in the classroom. Research consistently shows that children who eat breakfast regularly experience better concentration, improved mood and energy levels, stronger academic performance, and healthier eating habits.

Breakfast Club of Canada works alongside school communities, governments, and corporate and community partners to provide the resources required to run effective programs. This includes food procurement and delivery, equipment, financial grants, training, and ongoing program support. By taking a holistic approach, the Club helps schools build programs that are reliable, inclusive, nutritious, and stigma-free, ensuring every child can access breakfast regardless of their circumstances.

 In Alberta alone, the Club currently supports 298 school nutrition programs reaching more than 37,000 children, strengthening communities and helping students start each day ready to learn.With a trusted reputation and strong national presence, 62% of Canadians recognize the organization and 83% hold a positive perception of its work, Breakfast Club of Canada continues to expand its impact.
