Vancouver cuts school meal program funding, raising concerns about student hunger
60% Informative
The City of Vancouver has provided $ 320,000 annually to the Vancouver school board in support of various school food programs, which serve 3,500 meals to students each weekday as part of the City’s healthy city strategy.
Since 2014 , the majority of this funding has supported the Food4Schools lunch program, which provides subsidized meals to 258 students across 17 schools.
School board trustees are worried about fewer meals reaching students who depend on them.
Vancouver schools received about $400,000 from Adopt-A-School this year to pay for food and other necessities.
The annual campaign, supported by Sun readers, raised about $1.5 million for needy schools across the province.
The city and the school board did not immediately reply for comment.
