Programs like Rainbow Kitchen key to new national school food program: federal minister

Esquimalt’s Rainbow Kitchen is just the type of grassroots organization that will help make the new National School Food Program work, says the federal minister of labour and seniors.

“We have a list of schools who have seen what we can do and they want support from us,” he said. “It takes funding to get there.” The Liberal government has long promised to launch a national school food program, and New Democrats have been pushing the Liberal government to fulfil that promise ahead of the federal budget, which Freeland is set to present on April 16.

Along with the meal, he said we was planning on picking up a few of the onions set aside with other food items for diners to take with them.
