The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick received some good news about its School Food Program recently.
A $200,000 donation from the New Brunswick Medical Society will help provide food for hungry students.
Christine Roherty, Vice President of Health Promotions with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, said New Brunswick is the last province without a school lunch program.
“We need this program,” Roherty said. “New Brunswick has some of the highest rate of food insecurity in the (country), and particularly among children. We’re the last province to have it, but we’re also the province who needs it the most.”
