We're addressing HUNGER in the Muskoka Community one food package at a time

•School’s Out• but that doesn’t mean we stop feeding kids. 💛

At Food4Kids Muskoka, summer brings new ways to keep kids nourished, connected, and cared for:

🍎 All 325 children in our program have been sent home with grocery gift cards to help cover weekend meals through July and August.

🛍️ We included extra goodies—and a full-sized pantry staple—in their final school-year food bag.

🏘️ Starting this week, our Community Outreach initiative begins! Each week this summer, we’ll be visiting local housing communities alongside the District of Muskoka and other partnering organizations to connect with families, offer snacks, and share how to get involved in our program.

🎨 Our Events Team will be out at festivals and summer happenings across Muskoka, offering snacks and inviting kids to join our Summer Design Challenge.

🚓 We’ve also prepared mini versions of our weekend food bags—now riding along with OPP officers in Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, and Huntsville, the Mind-Aid Muskoka travelling Youth Hub, and both Christine’s Place locations.

This summer, we’re showing up wherever kids are—with food, fun, and the promise that they are not forgotten, all with thanks to YOU!

Shoutout to the incredible Grade 4 & 5 students at Muskoka Christian School! 🙌💙

These young changemakers came together to learn about Food4Kids Muskoka and created powerful presentations to share what they learned. From creative posters to thoughtful messages, their passion and understanding blew us away (and we cried reading them! 😆)

It’s clear the next generation of world-changers is already here—and they care deeply about their community. 🌎💫

Thank you, MCS students, for using your voices to make a difference!
