Nutrition Blocs works to support these talented children and youth by providing with the fuel they need to learn, and grow strong.

On May 14, 2026, golfers, partners, and supporters will hit the links at Stonebridge Golf Club for the Kiwanis Capital Prosperity Foundation Golf Tournament. Nutrition Blocs is proud to be one of this year’s beneficiaries.

It promises a great day of friendly competition, good company, and positive impact for children facing food insecurity. Every swing, putt, mulligan, and post-round conversation will help support the delivery of nutritious meals to school-aged children across Ottawa.

That is the beauty of a community event like this. It is not just about golf. It is about showing up for kids and helping create lasting change.

No child should sit in a classroom wondering when their next meal is coming. But in Ottawa, 40,000 children face that reality every day. Nutrition Blocs is trying to change that with consistent, nutritious meals. School-aged children become more energized, engaged, and full of potential when they know where their next meal is coming from.
When children can consistently count on food, anything feels possible.

As we head into Good Friday and Easter break, with remembrance and celebration, here is a touching story of celebrating legacy.

Today, the Nanduri family in Ottawa made a donation in loving memory of Dr. Rao Nanduri, a beloved father and husband, a thoughtful leader, a mentor to many, and a true community champion in the Indian diaspora. This thoughtful gesture resulted in serving a hot and nutritious school lunch to 100 school-aged children living in family shelters.

Each week, Nutrition Blocs serves over 2000 hot and culturally appropriate school lunches and after-school dinners, providing essential nourishment to the most vulnerable children in our community.

You can support a child by becoming a monthly donor
