LIVE FREE @ School

"St. John Bosco Catholic Learning Community is an alternative high school site for the Wellington Catholic District School Board. We are lucky enough to have funding for the breakfast, snack and lunch program at our school for all of our students. We watch Food and Friends make a difference in our students lives everyday. Thank you!"

- 2012 Live Free @School Participant St. John Bosco.

Support Nutrition Programs in Your Schools.
Participate in Live Free @ School.

In Live Free @School, each child makes a pledge to Live Free of something that they take for granted each day and donates a Toonie to the campaign. All dollars raised by each individual school will go directly back to that school. 

By participating in Live Free, your school can help to sustain the future of these programs and new programs for the current school year. Challenge your students to give up something for one day for those in our community who are living without and donate a toonie to the campaign.

In 2011, students challenged themselves to give up treats such as candy, playing video games, their computer, chocolate or watching their favourite TV show.
