At Our Lady of Grace Catholic Elementary School, generosity and compassion came together in a powerful way through the Nutrition for Learning campaign. With the support of students, families and staff, the school community united to ensure that no child starts the day hungry.
Nutrition for Learning is a region-wide initiative that provides universal access to nutritious snacks and meals for students in schools across Waterloo Region. The campaign reflects a deep understanding that proper nutrition is essential to student well-being, focus and academic success.
Rooted in the Lenten tradition of almsgiving, this campaign invited our school community to give selflessly in support of others. Donations came in from all corners of the school community—families gave generously, students showed tremendous care for their peers, and staff went above and beyond to promote awareness and involvement.
The result was a strong show of support that will help stock school snack programmes and ensure children across the region have access to food throughout the school day. It was a living example of Catholic social teaching in action, reminding us all of the importance of caring for the vulnerable and building community through service.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed—whether through food, funds or time. Your support not only fills bellies, but also uplifts spirits and strengthens our shared mission of love, dignity and inclusion.
Thank you for your generous almsgiving and for helping nourish both minds and hearts.
