Northumberland Food For Thought
Eat, learn, succeed!

That’s what student nutrition programs in Northumberland County are all about.

Hi! My name is Beth Kolisnyk and I am the Community Development Coordinator for Northumberland Food for Thought.

Last year close to 6000 students in Northumberland County benefited from a breakfast, lunch, or snack program at school. These programs are open to all and promote healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.

Looking for a way to help your local school community? Interested in spending time with a fantastic group of dedicated volunteers? Then contact me to find a school in your area!

By coming together with a common goal... we can make sure that students in Northumberland County receive the food they need to be ready to learn.

Food for Thought Asks for Cobourg’s Help – Northumberland Today (July 14/15)

Published July 20, 2015 | By admin
Northumberland Food For Thought provides big benefits to local students on a bare-bones budget. Representatives Kimberley Leadbeater and Susan Greenwood attended Cobourg Council this week to ask for $300 to assist them with a special project, but first offered some information on the work they do. The non-profit organization has representation from the health unit, school boards, municipalities, community agencies and the food industry. They work together for a common goal: to promote, assist and support the school-nutrition programs that run locally. Their fundraising sees 100% of proceeds going to this purpose.
