KidsCan doubles its Food for Kids Programme!

Since Telethon, KidsCan have taken on another 60 schools who have been waiting for the food programme, seeing the number of hungry children they support each week rising from 8,500 to 17,000 this term. This means they are now supporting more than 40,000 children each year in 173 schools throughout New Zealand. This has been possible thanks to their valued sponsors and the funds from Telethon and the Government....and is just the start of more good things to come for financially disadvantaged kiwi kids in our own backyard.
