Be a champion for School Food : Write to your Mp

As part of our Nourish Kids Now campaign — a national call to action to celebrate and strengthen the new National School Food Program — we’re proud to launch our newest initiative: Be a Champion for School Food.

Through this campaign, the Coalition for Healthy School Food invites you to use our ready-to-go letter templates to contact your local Member of Parliament (MP), congratulate them on being newly elected, and ask for their support in making the National School Food Program permanent in order to strengthen and expand school food programs in Canada.

This action is a core component of Nourish Kids Now, and it’s designed for anyone in Canada who wants to advocate for stronger school food programs — including educators, families, nonprofit leaders, and anyone who values school food.
