In New Brunswick, 20% of families experience food insecurity. Breakfast Clubs of Canada provides funding to schools to run school food programs. When schools closed in March 2020, an incredible pivot by and for our local community provided access to food in a safe, trauma informed way. Salem Elementary School Breakfast Club Program Coordinator Lindsay Cary shares the story of the impact school food had on families at the height of lockdowns and volunteers came together to ensure kids didn’t go hungry.
