The Grey Bruce Eat and Learn program is looking for help.
Eat and Learn is part of the Ontario Food and Nutrition program and helps make sure student are well nourished while in school.
Coordinator Bev Gateman says they provide healthy breakfasts, snacks and lunches at public and catholic elementary and secondary schools.
Gateman says the main components of the program are the breakfast club, lunch program and snack programs.
All three offer the chance for kids to eat nutritious foods at their schools free of charge.
The program operates on government funding as well as donations from local residents and food producers.
Gateman says volunteers are needed to help prepare and hand out the food at all the schools.
And she says they need volunteers at 70 schools.
Gateman says no students are turned away from the programs.
If you would like to volunteer or donate you can call Gateman’s office at John Diefenbaker Secondary School in Hanover — or you can contact the school you wish to volunteer at directly.
