Take your passion to help others and join us. Together, let's end hunger and transform lives here in Canada and around the world.

Kids Against Hunger Canada (KAHC) is a registered Canadian humanitarian charity that is headquartered in Peterborough, Ontario. The organization engages community members to be a part of the solution to address hunger, both in Canada and around the world. Our supporters donate, fundraise, create and participate in the packaging of our highly-nutritious, life-saving meal packs.

Each meal pack contains a full day’s nutrition for six people. The food ingredients include rice, fortified vegetable protein, dehydrated vegetables and a special blend of 21 vitamins & minerals.

These food packs are shipped to reliable feeding partners who provide our meals to Canadians and to people of developing and needy countries around the world.

Kids Against Hunger Canada targets a minimum of one-third of the food locally here in Canada providing meals to food banks, shelters, reserves, the Salvation Army and other food programs. The remainder of our food gets shipped abroad to emergency-crisis areas and underdeveloped countries in need.

Our Mission

To engage Canadians, especially youth, in helping to feed those who are hungry, malnourished & starving  in Canada and around the world.

Our Mission and Vision Statement

  1. Feed the Hungry, Malnourished & Starving | We feed the hungry and malnourished & reverse the starvation process in Canada and around the world, using simple, yet nutritionally powerful food that is carefully packaged and sealed. We make sure it gets shipped to needy areas by working with distribution partners of high integrity and capability that can distribute the food directly;
  2. Create, Engage & Maintain Community | We engage our volunteers, supporters and donors to work together in a fun way to make a difference by contributing financially, volunteering with packaging the nutritious food that will feed large numbers of people in need, raising awareness, hosting food packing events of their own, and starting satellites to be able to feed more people in more regions. We meet Canadians’ need for meaning and contribution;
  3. Increase Our Food Supply Network | Our goal is to set up satellites (food packing centres) across Canada, in every major city and province, to spearhead community volunteer packaging to increase our food packing and supplying capability.

The need for nutritional food has never been greater, both locally and abroad. Covid-19 has made the situation even more critical. We need ongoing monthly partner/sponsors.

Events

We have the opportunity and challenge to package 60,000 highly nutritious meals for people struggling with hunger around the world and right here in our neighbourhood. This marks our 9th annual event as we work towards our objective of packaging one million meals for those in need.

The goal of this event is to engage the people of Peterborough to make a difference in the lives of others. In order to do this, we will provide and volunteer to package One Million Meals using Kids Against Hunger Canada’s model of food packaging. We encourage individuals from diverse social, religious, sports, academic, business, and municipal backgrounds to come together and form teams that will participate in a friendly competition to assemble as many meals as possible during a 75-minute shift.

This event promises to be an enjoyable, energetic, and meaningful opportunity for the people of Peterborough to contribute positively to the lives of others! Will you join us in seizing this outstanding opportunity to create a significant impact on the lives of those in need?

To cover the expenses of the food, it is essential to have everyone’s support in raising the necessary funds. A donation of $75 would significantly aid us in achieving our goal of raising $30,000 to pack 60,000 meals. Of course any contribution you can make towards covering the food costs is appreciated. Come be a part of the excitement and REGISTER TODAY.
