Sakku School in Coral Harbour Nunavut, is asking for donations for their school breakfast program. The school has over 350 students from K-12 who are offered breakfast to each and every morning.
Typically the program feeds around 120 students each day, with more of them being the younger students from kindergarten to grade 6.
The breakfast food plan is structured around healthy options that have been approved by a certified nutritionist.
Students are given a meal with at least three out of the four food groups varying from hot and cold breakfasts. Groceries for the breakfast program are purchased fresh from the stores, and typically include items such as fruit, eggs, and bread.
Nutrition is expensive.
Please support this important program by making a donation on the Sakku School Breakfast Program GoFundMe page.
