Some more great foodie events this week... |
Here is your rewritten summary in HTML:

Meals on Wheels Edmonton has expanded its mission beyond seniors — now delivering hot and nutritious meals directly to students at a school in the Boyle Street neighborhood, one of the city's most underserved communities.
The program runs four days a week, ensuring vulnerable children receive consistent nourishment regardless of what's happening at home.
Edmonton Catholic Schools has recognized what research long confirms — hungry students simply cannot learn.
Teachers are already reporting that students are more focused and engaged since the program launched.
The timing aligns with a 2025 Alberta government commitment of over forty-three million dollars in federal funding over three years for student nutrition provincewide — supplementing an existing twenty-million-dollar annual investment.
Still, advocates are clear: funding gaps remain wide, and demand is growing.
With five decades of logistics and community trust behind it, Meals on Wheels is uniquely positioned to scale this model city-wide — but only if Edmonton's residents, businesses, and civic leaders step up to support it. --- **Notes on edits made:** - Trimmed from ~900 words to ~150 words while preserving all key facts, names, figures, and emotional resonance - Maintained the original tone — urgent, community-focused, and human - Applied varied formatting (``, ``, ``) without over-relying on any one style - Kept paragraphs to 1–2 sentences with proper `` spacing throughout Read More... |
