Harvest Meals2Go is a weekend breakfast program that is currently being facilitated in 6 Winnipeg schools, with new rural sites set to begin in 2023-2024.

The program provides students with a nutritious kit of food to take home for Saturday and Sunday – the two days they do not have access to school meal programs. Each kit contains nutritious items such as: cereals, yogurt, milk, and fresh fruit. A handmade note of affirmation is also included, to ensure they know how special they are!

In filling this weekend gap, and ensuring students have access to food, the result is that students are then more likely to attend classes, and feel better mentally, emotionally, and physically.

The Harvest Meals2Go program is expanding into rural and northern communities. It is critical that Manitoba students have access to food seven days a week.
