Feed Our Future, a not for profit association with a simple mission to provide needy children with school meals, recently received a healthy boost to their fund-raising efforts for the current school year through a generous donation from local professional services firm Ernst & Young Ltd.

Research shows that even mild under-nutrition can prevent learning. Poor nutrition harms children silently, and beyond having a lasting effect on learning and education, can ultimately affect well being, employability and quality of life. “The funds donated by Ernst & Young Ltd. will help us to ensure that needy children in our schools are assured a hot meal per school day,” stated Stacey VanDevelde, Chairwoman of Feed our Future. “For many children this school meal represents the only meal they will receive on that day. We are extremely grateful for their generosity and dedication to Cayman’s future generation.”

“It is widely recognized that children must have sufficient diets in order to grow, learn and become productive adults.” says Ernst & Young Ltd. partner Rohan Small. “We are proud to support Feed Our Future and their goal for a hunger free Cayman Islands.”

Feed our Future hopes to enrich the learning potential and health of the children in our community.  With the community’s support they aim to ensure all families know where they can get help and how their children can be assured of a healthy school meal.
