Meal Train
Meal Train – Volunteers Needed
As a community, it is great to be able to come together with an opportunity to show kindness and support those who need it.Whether it is the passing of a family member, an illness or a surgery, a new baby, or just experiencing a hard time, a meal train takes the task of fixing dinner off their plate. If you are interested in being involved and supporting a fellow Thunder family in need, please email Tasha at community@stjameselementary.ca to have your name added to the list. This list will be activated when we are made aware of a family who could use our support.

Fresh Fruit – Fresh fruit will be available to all students throughout the school day.Breakfast Run – We will have a few healthy food choices available in the morning for students in need, such as granola bars, cheese, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Students may select 1-2 items to take outside with them to eat as they arrive in the morning.Hot Food – We can help with the cost of a hot lunch once a week through our Munch a Lunch Program.Grocery Gift Cards – a few times during the year, gift cards will be distributed to families in need.If your family is in need of support, please contact our school office ASAP. We need families to sign up before participating in the program, as we need to be aware of any food allergies or nutritional sensitivities. Please contact the school office ASAP if you would like to sign up. All information shared will be held in the strictest of confidence. office@stjameselementary.caOnce we have the list of families and students participating in the program, we will begin our Breakfast Run.
