Many people don’t realize how widespread chronic hunger is among children in our community. Even short periods without food—like weekends or school breaks—can have lasting impacts on a child’s development, learning, and emotional well-being.
Food4Kids Waterloo Region bridges this critical gap by providing nutritious food packages during weekends, holidays, and summer breaks—times when school meal programs aren’t available. When children are fed, they’re ready to learn, grow, and thrive. They feel supported, knowing someone cares.
Two years ago, the organization’s Board of Directors turned to Capacity Canada for help in recruiting new leadership. Together, we placed an interim leader and supported the search for a new Executive Director.
Earlier this year, Faune Lang stepped into that role, and with renewed vision and strategic support, the organization launched a bold plan to double the number of children served in Waterloo Region within three years.
“Together, we navigated the challenges of philanthropy and leadership with resilience and integrity. Capacity Canada’s knowledge and passion have inspired creative, strategic thinking that strengthens our mission; helping children and youth thrive. We are deeply grateful for the meaningful capacity they’ve built within our organization”.
