The story
One in four Maple Ridge students arrives at school without breakfast. Teachers keep granola bars in their desks, but hungry kids can't focus, and it shows.
We want to launch a free grab-and-go breakfast cart at the main entrance, open to every student, no forms, no questions. Kids grab a healthy breakfast on the way to class.
