I don’t know about you, but getting my small family out the door in time to get my daughter to school is sometimes a gong show. There is breakfast to eat, teeth to brush, bodies to clothe, a backpack to pack, shoes and jackets to get on, etc. And that doesn’t include the last minute “But I don’t WANT to wear this!”
Minute Maid knows that not every family has the time (or the ingredients) to make a healthy breakfast to send their kids out the door with.
Minute Maid helps provide healthy breakfast to more than 119,000 Canadian school-age children by supporting Breakfast Clubs of Canada. Breakfast Clubs of Canada is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to funding breakfast programs in school. You can read more about this great program and what Minute Maid offers at www.minutemaid.ca.
