Proceeds of our online Monthly Raffle support the Every Body Eats School Food program!
RootED
Rural Riches is proud to partner with RootEd on the new Every Body Eats program.
Over the summer it became evident how many students and families rely heavily on school food for nourishment. We want to ensure that we can meet the expected increased need - for example we know that food insecurity has increased by an additional 39% at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Funds raised will be dispersed to all South Shore Regional Centre for Education school cafeterias to ensure all students who choose to use our school cafeterias can receive school food. Students come to school without food some days for a variety of reasons. This fund will ensure they have wholesome food to help them learn.
$5 will buy a student a healthy, locally sourced meal for one day.
$25 would buy lunch for one student for 1 week.
We want to start our new Every Body Eats program this fall, but we have no funding to support the delivery of the program. It's hard to have a universal program with no funding. All funds will be regional and will help school cafeterias cover the cost of providing meals to students who come to school hungry.
Other fall school food news - we are looking at an online ordering system for school cafeterias, and planning how to safely prepare and deliver food to students. All our school cafeterias will be opened and staffed. Our school cafeterias will be open and preparing food for students even if students are learning at home.
