Sakku School Breakfast Program
Donation protected
Sakku School in Coral Harbour Nunavut, is asking for donations to continue offering high nutrition foods in their school breakfast program.
The school has over 350 students from K-12 who are offered breakfast to each and every morning.
Typically the program feeds around 120 students each day, with more of them being the younger students from kindergarden to grade 6.
The breakfast food plan is structured around healthy options that have been approved by a certified nutritionist.
Students are given a meal with at least three out of the four food groups varying from hot and cold breakfasts.
Groceries for the breakfast program are purchased fresh from the stores, and typically include items such as fruit, eggs, and bread.
Nutrition is expensive. Please support this important program.
Nunavut food insecurity and hunger statistics are staggering:
• 60% of the territories children live in food insecure homes
• 70% of Inuit preschool children live in food insecure homes
• 76% of severely food insecure children regularly skip meals
