Breakfast Clubs of Canada

Walmart has started a campaign today to help raise funds for the Breakfast Clubs of Canada. This group has helped millions of kids start the day off right with a healthy breakfast. The basic premise - you can't learn on an empty stomach.

In Calgary alone, up to 1000 kids go to school hungry each day. Breakfast Clubs of Canada helps schools and other groups with funding, organization, and nutritional guidance to support efforts to get kids to school on full stomachs. From their Facebook Page:

"Good nutrition is vital to the health of children and yet, many of them go to school on an empty stomach. Studies show that undernourished children do not concentrate as well as their peers and have higher levels of absenteeism from school and lower self-esteem.

School breakfast programs help to level the playing field for these children, giving them an equal chance to grow and flourish throughout life."

Walmart is just one of the heavy-hitting supporter of this worthy cause, click here to learn more about the organization and their efforts.
