To enable each community to provide for school-age children a hot, nutritious, culturally reflective breakfast in a social educational and stimulating environment. ABOUT US For more than 40 years, The Children’s Breakfast Clubs has provided healthy meals and educational, cultural and recreational activities to children across Southern Ontario, in a respectful and dignified manner. While originally focused on breakfast, we have expanded our offerings to include lunch programs at select clubs, ensuring children receive nutritious meals throughout the day to support their growth, learning, and overall well-being. OUR HISTORY Our doors opened in 1984 after it was determined that many community needs and concerns could be addressed with a breakfast program. Today, The Children's Breakfast Clubs operate as a non-profit organization in over 39 clubs. OUR IMPACT Quite often, hunger is invisible to the untrained eye and children are less likely to disclose this information to adults. Starting the day with a healthy breakfast has a proven track record that leads to improved overall health, decrease in behavioral issues, higher self-esteem and confidence levels, as well as better academic performance and extra-curricular participation. Using a holistic approach, we also deliver educational, cultural and recreational programs that help children aged 5 to 18 develop social, physical and cognitive skills.

Lupus is a life altering and potentially life-threatening auto-immune disease for which there is no cure. In an autoimmune disease, the body’s immune system (which normally protects and defends the body against disease and illness) becomes overactive, often attacking healthy tissues of the body. It can affect any organ or system. The resultant inflammation can be destructive as well as debilitating. In Ontario, we have increased the number of support centres and assisted volunteers who have helped many people with lupus share information and education to better manage their disease. Lupus Ontario knows that there are not enough specialized physicians to give adequate care to people living with lupus. To address this, we financially support two fellowships that educate in the optimum treatment of people living with lupus. We continue to drive awareness through advocacy, written articles, media releases, PSAs and our updated website. We support research; RESEARCH BRINGS US HOPE
