As the Downtown Guelph Business Association (DGBA) launches its Spirit of the Season festival for the third year running, the heart of the celebration is its partnership with the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington’s Keep Kids Fed at Home program.

What is Keep Kids Fed at Home?                    
Keep Kids Fed at Home (KKFH) is a program of the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington, aimed at bridging the weekend and holiday hunger gap for students. KKFH collaborates closely with Guelph elementary schools to identify students who are severely food insecure, and then provides them with weekend food bags and grocery gift cards during the holidays. On average, KKFH provides weekend food support to over 500 children per week during the school year.

The funds raised through Spirit of the Season will go directly to providing the take-home food pages for severely food insecure kids right here in Guelph, giving them families peace of mind during difficult times.

How to Support
During Spirit of the Season there will be multiple different opportunities to support Keep Kids Fed at Home. Check back closer to the event for more details about how to support during the event.
