Learn More About Us
Who we are
Our mission is to provide nourishment for students to improve their readiness to learn. As a community partner of the Ontario Student Nutrition Program, we provide nutritious food to all publically-funded schools across Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington, at no charge.
What We Do
The Food Sharing Project and local schools are partners in providing nutrition to students. Quite simply, The Food Sharing Project makes it possible for school nutrition program coordinators to order everything they need to provide healthy meal and snack programs at their school, every day, for any student, and then gets that food to the school, at no cost.

How You Can Help
Thank you, from the bottoms of our bellies.
– JG Simcoe PS Kindergarten studentsWow, look at this food. They really care about us.
– A secondary school student overheard by a teacherHonestly, having the grab and go station in the school just helps me make it to class.
– Secondary school studentI don’t know why, but math is easier after I have something to eat.
– Elementary studentI saw the student putting a few extra cartons of milk in his backpack, so I gently asked why, and he said he was taking it for his siblings because, "school is the only place we can get fresh milk."
– Secondary school teacher“Just a note to say thank you and your helpers for all you have done for myself and my family. You don’t have to do anymore I think we will be okay for now.”
