Starting the day right: School breakfast programs in action

At Loaves and Fishes Tasmania, we believe every child deserves a healthy start to their day. Our School Breakfast Program provides nutritious meals to students across Tasmania in over 40 schools, helping them begin their day ready to learn and grow.

With support from local partners like Costa Group, we are able to add fresh, locally grown produce to our breakfast programs. Costa have a large range of berry farms located across Tasmania’s North-West, and are committed to supporting their local community.

Gabi from Costa shares, “Costa is pleased to provide ongoing support to Loaves and Fishes through donations of our fresh and nutritious berries. We understand how important it is for all children to have a healthy start to the day and are delighted to have an ongoing partnership with Loaves and Fishes to support the important work they do with so many schools.”

Dakota, a student who attends the program and often helps with the setup said, “I love the breakfast program because I love breakfast and don’t usually have time to have it before catching my bus to school. Getting to have it here makes my day so much better.”

These berries regularly feature in our breakfast programs throughout schools in Tasmania, giving children the fuel to keep up with their energy, concentration, and overall well being. By teaming up, we’re able to provide more than just food—we’re giving children the best chance to succeed throughout their day at school.
