Make Happy Tummies™ Is Back — And the Impact Is Real
Local support. Real nourishment. Lasting change for children in our communities.
Make Happy Tummies Returns this January.
After a record-breaking campaign that helped provide over 2.2 million nutritious meals to children in over 3,000 breakfast programs across Canada, we’re coming back to do even more.
Now is the time to help fill little tummies with big possibilities.
How Donations Last Year Are Helping
Right now, 1 in 3 children in Canada arrive at school hungry. That’s a child trying to learn, grow, and feel hopeful on an empty stomach.
