How Donations Last Year Are Helping
1 in 3 children in Canada arrive at school hungry.1 That’s a child trying to learn, grow, and feel hopeful on an empty stomach. But thanks to generous shoppers, 100% of donations made during last year’s Make Happy Tummies campaign and online throughout the year are at work.
Your support makes a significant difference in our students’ lives. We are truly grateful for your kindness and commitment to them.

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 local communities in the vicinity of the stores where donations are made OR in the province where the donation is made when made online. Donations benefit Student Nutrition Ontario (SNO) in Ontario or Breakfast Club of Canada in Western Canada, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada.
Do retailers get a tax write-off for the Make Happy Tummies campaign or any related donations made by shoppers?
No. The only people eligible for a tax receipt for donations made in-store during the campaign are the individual donors.
How do you identify local programs?
We work with our student nutrition partners, to identify eligible school-based student nutrition programs. These programs benefit from donations made in-store and online once the campaign ends.
What if I do not see a program in the vicinity of the store where I am shopping?
The Donation Tracker includes the programs that benefit currently. Once our annual fundraising campaign concludes, we distribute donations to schools that have been identified / partnered with stores. This tracker and the schools found there are continuously being updated.
How much can I donate at the grocery store? Can I get a tax receipt?
Many of our grocery store partners offer options to make donations of a toonie and several other donation options, including in some cases open donations. The Foundation accepts donations of $5 or more online which are eligible for a tax receipt.
Why are schools not named?
We do not publish school names for privacy reasons.
Can I direct my funds to a specific program?
No. But rest assured, donations that are made in-store will remain in the local community in the vicinity of the grocery store where the donation is made. For online donations , we will make every effort to have those donations benefit student nutrition programs in the region. For certain, donations made online will remain in the province associated with the online donation.
What are the criteria for foods served in the student nutrition programs?
The criteria are determined by the organizations that administer the programs and is based on nutrition guidelines set by each respective province.
Do you run a student nutrition program in your school and don’t see it listed on the tracker?
