Division seeking community partnerships to support nutritional needs of students

Lethbridge School Division is committed to ensuring all students have access to nutritious meals every day. In our community, poverty continues to disproportionately affect children, and we recognize proper nutrition plays a critical role in academic success, well-being and overall development. Access to healthy meals helps students focus, improve attendance and thrive in the classroom.
As part of our ongoing commitment, the Division offers a variety of breakfast programs and access to community-run lunch options. Currently, over 2,300 lunches a week are provided to students across our 24 schools to meet their nutritional needs. However, we cannot do this important work alone. We are actively seeking community partners to help support food provision across all schools in Lethbridge.
We are looking for organizations, businesses, and community members who are interested in contributing to this critical initiative in a variety of ways, including volunteering to help with meal preparation and delivery as well as sponsorship for both food provision and meal preparation programs.
Community partnerships have proven invaluable in addressing food insecurity, and we know they can have a lasting impact on students’ lives. Similar initiatives in other communities have shown marked improvements in student health, attendance, and academic performance. We believe we can achieve the same success here in Lethbridge by working together.
By partnering with us, you will play a direct role in ensuring that no child goes hungry and in building a stronger, more supportive community. All partners will be recognized for their contributions to the well-being and education of our youth, and they will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of Lethbridge’s students.
If your organization, business, or community group is interested in supporting this vital initiative for the 2025/2026 school year, we invite you to express your interest by completing the following form: Nutrition Programming Call for Partnership - Lethbridge School Division.
Together, we can ensure that every child has the nutrition they need to succeed.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our students. We look forward to working together to support the health and success of our future leaders.
