{"id":"u113","name":"Student Nutrition Programs in Toronto Schools (free breakfast, snacks and meals)","type":"program","typeLabel":"Program","what":"Programs in Toronto schools that give students healthy breakfasts, morning meals, snacks or lunches each school day. Over 230,000 Toronto students take part every day. The City of Toronto funds them through Toronto Public Health, with money from Ontario and from the Government of Canada, whose National School Food Program adds funding to Ontario's Student Nutrition Program. The City aims to have a morning meal program in every public school community by the 2026-2027 school year.","forWhom":"Children and youth at Toronto schools that run a student nutrition program. Programs are open to all students regardless of their ability to pay and are meant to be free of stigma. Families do not apply to the National School Food Program directly. It reaches students through these school programs.","cost":"Free for students. Parents may give a voluntary contribution.","tags":["student nutrition program","school breakfast","school snacks","school food","National School Food Program","Toronto Public Health","SNO-Toronto"],"topics":["food","kids-activities","parents","students"],"place":{"country":"Canada","region":"Ontario","city":"Toronto","label":"Toronto","cc":"CA","scope":"city"},"website":"https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/student-nutrition-program/","sources":["https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/student-nutrition-program/","https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/student-nutrition-program/grant-applications/","https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/student-nutrition-program/student-nutrition-ontario-toronto/","https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2026/hl/bgrd/backgroundfile-287068.pdf","https://www.studentnutritionontariotoronto.ca/what-is-an-snp.html","https://www.studentnutritionontariotoronto.ca/contact-us.html","https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/school-food.html","https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/school-food/agreements/ontario-2024.html","https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/school-food/agreements/ontario-action-plan-2025.html"],"checked":"2026-10-04","added":"2026-10-04","verified":"checked","checkEvery":90,"deadline":null,"deadlineNote":"Runs every school day during the school year.
