The Rivertowne Breakfast Program is championed by Rivertowne Safety 1st. We run the Breakfast Program runs every Friday, year round, to provide about 100 children, seniors, and people with different abilities – including primarily BIPOC – in the local community with a free, warm breakfast.
It also aims to bring people in the community together regardless of their family income level, and give them something to look forward to while building a sense of community.
However, the Breakfast program could not run without the support of the Riverside Antler Breakfast, the annual fundraiser by the Riverside BIA, the Ralph Thornton Community Centre, and the late Chef Scott. In 2020, the Riverside Antler Breakfast raised over $12,000 in support of the year-round operation of the local Rivertowne Breakfast Program. While we couldn’t get together in 2020, supporters experienced the fun of the in-person event virtually, on December 12th, 2020.
If you missed the virtual event, you can support by donating anytime of year via Canada Helps, just choose ‘Rivertowne Breakfast Program’ in the dropdown menu.
Looking forward to next year's event and here's hoping we can get together in person again!
