Make Happy Tummies
Together for Children in Our Communities
Foodland is a long-standing partner of Make Happy Tummies™ (formerly Toonies for Tummies), proudly supporting children and families in our communities.
Thank you to Foodland shoppers, store teams, and sponsor brand partners for everything you contributed to the 2026 Make Happy Tummies™ campaign.
The in-store fundraiser has now come to a close. Thanks to your support, more children will have access to school breakfast programs across Canada.
Together with sponsor brands found in Foodland stores, 100% of donations will benefit children and school breakfast programs in the communities near our stores.
If you missed the chance to donate during the in-store campaign, you can still make a difference today.
Continuing the Impact
The in-store campaign has ended, but the need continues.
Many children across Canada still rely on school breakfast programs to start their day ready to learn.
Your support helps keep these programs going in communities like yours.
See the Impact
Enter your postal code in the Make Happy Tummies™ donation tracker to explore the 3,000+ breakfast programs supported by generous donations across Canada—including those in your community.
Make Happy Tummies has made and continues to make a tremendous difference in our school community. We ensure that every student is offered a healthy snack, helping fill their tummy, ease hunger, and keep them focused on learning.
Many parents and community members don’t always realize the level of need in local1 schools. For some students, the snacks provided through these programs are truly essential. The impact goes far beyond nutrition; it builds confidence, improves focus, and helps every child feel cared for and ready to learn.
We are deeply grateful for the generosity and partnership that make this possible. These programs don’t just fill plates; they fill hearts and strengthen our entire community.
Thanks to Make Happy Tummies Sponsor Partners, 100% of Donations Support Breakfast Programs
The dedication and generosity of 34 Make Happy Tummies sponsor partners, together with Foodland, ensure that 100% of every donation stays in the community where it’s made—supporting local children and the breakfast programs so many depend on.
Look for sponsor products in flyers and in-store to take part.
No Hungry Tummies Left Behind
We are part of something bigger than any one community.
Make Happy Tummies is a nationwide Canadian campaign uniting neighbours, grocers, and families from coast to coast to help children start the day nourished and ready to learn.
From January to April, more than 1,700 grocery stores across Canada took part — supporting hungry children in thousands of communities like ours. Together, we are part of a moment that can change the future for a generation of Canadian kids, starting right here at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much of my donation goes towards student nutrition/breakfast programs?
100% of proceeds raised from Make Happy Tummies benefit student nutrition programs in local1 communities in the vicinity of the stores where donations are made OR in the province where the donation is made when made online.
