Child Nutrition Network

The Child Nutrition Network supports local school nutrition initiatives. We help schools and community programs create and maintain breakfast, early morning meal, lunch and snack programs for children in Haldimand and Norfolk counties.

Vision

To provide leadership and support to local student nutrition programs and school nutrition initiatives through awareness, education, skill development, supportive environments and policies.

Mission

The Child Nutrition Network provides leadership and support to local student nutrition programs through educating, capacity building and financial assistance.

Community Activities

Profits from community activities are directed to student nutrition programs in participating schools.

Amazing Pace - The Amazing Pace is 36 teams (from registered schools) racing around the Dunnville area, on foot, solving clues to move forward to different checkpoints around the town. Prizes are provided for every team at the end of this fantastic adventure. The Amazing Pace takes place the third weekend of September each year. Early team registration is recommended since the 36 spots fill up fast. Please check with your school principal to see if your school is registered to compete.

Spaghetti Dinner - The Spaghetti Dinner is a community event held in Simcoe, ON. Three separate seatings feed over 700 people each year. The Spaghetti Dinner takes place in the spring. Participating schools will send ticket order forms home with students. For other members of the community, tickets are available at the Haldimand Norfolk Health Unit, 12 Gilbertson Drive, Simcoe and at HNREACH, 101 Nanticoke Creek Parkway, Townsend.

Financial and In-Kind Support

The Child Nutrition Network receives donations from community members of Haldimand and Norfolk counties. These generous donations support nutrition programs in our schools and community.

We would like to extend our gratitude to individuals, local businesses and services clubs that donate generously.
