Breakfast for Learning Saskatchewan helps to start and sustain child nutrition programs in schools throughout the province. We advocate for a community based model within the programs we support. We know that improving child nutrition results in improved educational outcomes for all students.
Breakfast for Learning supports children in the most basic way- to ensure that all children attend school well nourished and ready to learn. The need for these programs cannot be overstated. In the words of Austin, a child participant,
“Thank you for the money for snack. My favourite snack is yoghurt and cereal. It is good food and my stomach doesn’t growl anymore.”

“Mr. Hall is a wonderful spokesperson for the organization and we are simply delighted to have him join us in this important work!” states provincial coordinator, Kelly Berlinic. “The Riders are legendary and a huge part of their story is Mr. Richie Hall. He is a hero in our province and it is such an honor to have him work with us on behalf of Saskatchewan students.”
