Kids grow quickly, and so does the School Breakfast Clubs Program <\/h2> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

It\u2019s been a whirlwind of excitement for the School Breakfast Clubs Program over the past few months, and we\u2019re thrilled to share the news \u2013 more schools, more students, and more healthy food! <\/p>

The program is making waves across Victoria, with 49% of new schools in metropolitan areas and 51% in regional areas \u2013 a nice even mix that\u2019s slowly working towards covering all corners of the state. <\/p>

But it\u2019s not just about the numbers, it\u2019s about the real impact happening in school hallways and classrooms. In the most recent quarter, the program served up a whopping 903,314 net kilograms of food, marking an 8.6% increase on the previous quarter. That\u2019s a whole lot of breakfasts fuelling students for a busy day ahead! And it doesn\u2019t stop there. <\/p>

The Home Food Packs program has seen a massive 57% increase in food distributed to school families over the last quarter, meeting an ever-growing need for food support in communities across Victoria beyond the classroom. These packs are making a tangible difference, providing families with the essentials they need and ensuring more people have access to healthy food. <\/p> <\/div>
