The Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba is a charitable organization dedicated to helping children learn, grow, and succeed by supporting school meal and snack programs in every region of Manitoba. This basic requirement is essential in equipping students to thrive at school and set them up for future opportunities to gain education, employment and vital skills for life.
The Council currently provides support to just under 300 schools in Manitoba, providing meals and snacks to over 34,000 students. However, the need is growing across our province and we need your help!
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba’s annual Stone Soup fundraiser is switching gears this year but our goal remains the same – raising funds for Manitoba school meal and snack programs! You’re invited to help fill the pot and come together to support Manitoba schools and students by participating in our Stone Soup 2021 Raffle.
Tickets are now available and the final draw is March 26th, 2021.
Tickets can be purchased HERE
Ticket prices are as follows: 1 for $5, 3 for $10, 10 for $20, and 50 for $50.
Serving food in a way that meets provincial health guidelines and lowers the risk of virus transmission does not have to rely on pre-packaged foods. Pre-packaged foods can certainly complement your program, and can be a starting point while we are figuring out how to navigate our new environments.
Finding ways to serve affordable, nutritious whole foods is important. When serving pre-packaged foods, this resource will help you select ones that meet the Manitoba School Nutrition Guidelines.

“It’s reassuring for parents to know if their child didn’t eat breakfast at home, then they can come to school and even if they miss school breakfast, they can still have a snack that’s a healthy choice for them to eat. Parents really appreciate the wide variety of fruits and vegetables we’re able to offer for their kids here,” Lendhart Mair says. “Sometimes parents are even able to help with us with the breakfast program and do some volunteering.”
