It’s hard to believe children in our very own community go hungry, but it’s a reality faced by children every day.
Food4Kids provides packages of healthy food for kids aged 4-13 years with limited or no access to food each weekend.
The food packages are assembled by volunteers and delivered to schools each Friday to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend.
The worsening economy, job loss, working poor, illness, mental health, marriage breakdown or those fleeing their home country to seek safe refuge in Canada, are some of the reasons parents turn to Food4Kids for support.

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!

📣 Did you know? You can help fight childhood hunger in Muskoka—your way. 💙
A third-party fundraiser is any event or initiative run independently by a community member, business, club, or organization to raise funds in support of our Weekends Without Hunger program at Food4Kids Muskoka.
That means YOU can make a difference—whether it’s hosting a lemonade stand, organizing a community BBQ, donating proceeds from a yoga class, or running a birthday fundraiser. 🎂🏃♀️🎨
Every dollar raised helps us provide nutritious, kid-friendly food to children in our community who might otherwise go hungry on the weekends.
✅ Want to host a third-party fundraiser? We’ll support you with ideas, materials, and info to make it easy and fun.
DM us to get started and THANK YOU for helping us in our mission to continue feeding kids in Muskoka!

The leaders of our next generation are doing fantastic work within our community and it’s lead by a desire to give back.
Meet Thomas!
Not only has Thomas given us hours as a volunteer but he’s also been planning this fundraiser to give back to our Weekends Without Hunger program!
It may be raining a little bit here at Maple Festival in Huntsville but your hearts will warm right hi after visiting him and the @westlandinsurance group for some ridiculously good popcorn!!!
Thank you, Thomas for this incredible gift to our program as you help us feed over 300 kids each week in 22 schools!!

With a medical problem, I had no choice but to quit work. As a single parent raising 2 great kids, there is barely enough money for rent, little money for food and absolutely no money for extras. When the school asked if I would like to involve my kids in the Food4Kids program, all I could do was cry.
Knowing my children have food brings comfort. The fresh fruits, soups and healthy snacks are appreciated. Thank you for this service. The volunteers at Food4Kids are angels."
After my marriage broke up, I had $50 for food for me and my two kids. I would not go to the food bank because I worked when they were open. We just survived.
Then the school let me know about Food4Kids.
My kids are happier, miss less school and are not sick all the time. It is fun when they come home from school on Friday so excited about what food they will have. Parents like me need this help."
