Providing
“Since 1985, The Food Sharing Project has been providing nutritious food to schools across Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington. Educators, and research, tell us that students who have access to healthy food can focus better on their academic tasks, are more engaged in their learning, and have more positive social interactions. Student nutrition programs at schools can take many forms but they all offer healthy food that is accessible to any student who needs nutrition, in a stigma–free environment, supported by caring adults.”
Our Impact
We provide food to 88 schools in 4 school boards, across Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington
Our volunteers pack over $18,000 of food every week, over half a million dollars of food over the course of the school year
Our drivers deliver food directly to the schools’ front doors, over 600kms per week
Over 7,500 meals or snacks per week are provided by schools with the food we provide
Over the course of a school year, 16,000 students – half of all enrolled in the region – access their school’s nutrition program, either regularly or on occasion
Over 1000 volunteer hours are accrued each week to deliver nutrition programs in schools

Reid and Ben: Big congrats to @COBSBread at the RioCan, who raised more than ANY other COBS franchise in 🇨🇦 during their 2022 community fundraising event. Over $17,000 was donated to @FoodSharingProj, which was then matched by the founders of COBS for a total of $34,769! #ygk 👏
