Help stop the growl

One in 10 kids in BC goes to school hungry. Many of them live right here in the Lower Mainland. That’s because in BC one in five children is living in poverty and isn’t receiving the nutritious food they need to develop and thrive.

United Way of the Lower Mainland helps Stop the Growl by funding 21 food initiatives across the Lower Mainland so children have access to nutritious food so they can learn better, play more, and have active and healthy lives. Help us Stop the Growl and support your United Way campaign.
