Key Objective: To raise money to feed hungry school children in the neediest 1000 Ontario elementary schools as identified by regional school boards.

How: Add a Toonie to your grocery bill to support Toonies for Tummies. As a thank you, the cashier will give each donor a coupon book to take home.

When: Tuesday January 26, 2010 – Sunday February 14, 2010

Where: 1,000 participating grocery stores in Ontario

Why: As many as 1 in 5 school children go hungry every day. With your support, Toonies for Tummies is helping to feeb 75,000 children a day in 1,000 Ontario schools.

Where Do The Donations Go?

Every dollar raised goes back into the budgets for school food. Schools qualify for help by registering with Breakfast for Learning @ www.breakfastforlearning.ca. The cost of advertising, store kits and administration is funded by The Grocery Foundation from other sources, and not from Toonie donations.

Do Donations Raised Stay in Each Store’s Area?

Yes. We are able to track donations by store and every effort is made to allocate 100% of a store’s donation back to a school in that store’s community. While very unlikely, if there is not a school right in a store’s community, the donations raised will be allocated to a school in a nearby community or a new school will be invited to register from that store’s trading area.
