The Schroeder Foundation has announced a major donation to support food programming in the Seven Oaks School Division. The announcement was made at Garden City Collegiate on May 27, 2026, in front of an audience of students, staff, and community members.
Supporting Student Nutrition
This funding aims to enhance existing food programs, ensuring that students have access to nutritious meals that support their learning and well-being. The donation will help expand meal services, provide healthy snacks, and develop new initiatives to address food insecurity among students.
Community Impact
Local officials and school leaders praised the foundation's generosity, highlighting the positive impact on student performance and community health. The Seven Oaks School Division serves a diverse population, and this investment is expected to reduce barriers to education caused by hunger.
“This donation will make a real difference in the lives of our students,” said a spokesperson for the division. “We are grateful for the Schroeder Foundation’s commitment to our community.”
The announcement was part of a broader effort to address food insecurity in Winnipeg schools, with similar programs being considered in other divisions.
