School Breakfast Program is a lifeline for hungry kids 

More kids than ever are going to school hungry

Rising food prices and the cost-of-living crisis mean many families simply can’t afford to provide three meals a day.

The School Breakfast Program is a lifeline for these children. Every morning, it provides them with a nutritious start to the school day, including toast, cereals, milk and fresh fruit.

But here’s the reality: demand for this program is growing. Last year we distributed more than 1 million school breakfasts and lunches to students in South Australia and the Northern Territory – more than ever before. At the start of this school year, we can already see that even more kids will need our help this year.

A coordinator in rural South Australia recently told us: “Without the School Breakfast Program, we’d see so many hungry tummies. Parents are struggling to pay for healthy food, and kids come to school unfocused and unable to learn. But with breakfast and fresh fruit provided, they’re ready to tackle the day.”

Hunger should never be a barrier to education, but sadly, it is for far too many children in our community. Thanks to your continued support, we can provide hungry kids with food to help them concentrate, learn, play and thrive.

Help us get more vital food to vulnerable South Australians and Territorians in need. For every $1 donated we can distribute 2 meals to someone in need.
