Feeding Futures Fund

Feeding Futures Fund

In 2023, the B.C. Government committed $214 million over three years for Feeding Futures, the largest investment in school food programs in the province’s history.

The Ministry of Education and Child Care distributes Feeding Futures funding to all school districts in B.C. The Ministry works with school districts to provide spending criteria and offer guidance on how to run programs.

Feeding Futures Guiding Principals

The Feeding Futures guiding principles were created to help schools and districts in B.C. develop and implement school food programs. These principles are intended to guide the development of programs and are not mandatory. 

BC School Food Tool Kit

This resource is designed for those who are responsible for school meals and snack programs and is intended to provide guidance on nutrition and food purchasing, education around food choices, and supports schools and districts in encouraging more nutritious foods for students.
National School Food Program

In addition to Feeding Futures funding, the Ministry of Education and Child Care is working with the Government of Canada to implement the National School Food Program in BC, which will provide additional funding to districts and schools to expand school food programs.

In April 2024, the Government of Canada announced an investment of $1 billion over five years for a National School Food Program to expand school food programs across the country.
