Evans Cares

Food4Kids Niagara is a registered charity committed to tackling child hunger in the Niagara region. Since its establishment in 2018, the organization has been providing healthy, child-friendly food packages to elementary school students who have limited access to food outside of school, primarily on weekends and during summer break.

Many children rely on school-based nutrition programs as their main source of meals. When schools are closed, these essential supports are not available. Food4Kids Niagara bridges this gap by delivering nutritious, easy-to-prepare food packages every Friday, ensuring children don’t go hungry while away from school.

Each week, dedicated volunteers prepare and deliver these packages—containing breakfasts, main meals, snacks, and fresh produce to almost 500 students at over 30 participating schools. This vital program helps ensure children receive the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

Although Food4Kids Niagara cannot eliminate hunger or poverty entirely, its mission is clear: no child in the region should have to sustain an entire weekend without food.

The Hope Centre is committed to assisting and strengthening our community by attending to the basic needs of its vulnerable citizens. Since 1974, The Hope Centre has helped to build and strengthen Welland by supporting the most vulnerable in our community with food security, housing stability and wellness programs.

We offer a wide range of services that help individuals and families in Welland that are facing challenges related to poverty including mental health, addictions, food insecurity and housing instability.

Our vision is a community where every person has their basic needs met through support and compassion.
