Glowbal Restaurant Group has announced its School Meals For Kids program is returning in January 2025.
In partnership with Vancouver Firefighter Charities (VFC), the program helps provide meals to students in need across Vancouver.
Last year the culinary teams at Glowbal’s local restaurants prepared more than 13,000 nutritious and nourishing meals that were delivered by 50+ off-duty firefighters to secondary school students across the city via VFC’s Snacks For Kids program.
“Supporting and taking care of the community that has been so good to us is an obligation and a privilege that all of us at Glowbal take very seriously,”says Glowbal Restaurant Group President & CEO Emad Yacoub.
“We look forward to growing our charitable initiatives across the company so that we can continue to give back, pay it forward and serve all of those in our communities who need a helping hand.
Founded in 2013 in partnership with the Vancouver School Board, Snacks For Kids is a volunteer-led program supported entirely through Vancouver firefighter payroll donations and fundraising events that provides nutritious non-perishable snacks, fresh food and take-home groceries to students across the city.
The School Meals For Kids program was first launched in 2022 and all costs are covered by Glowbal Restaurant Group. Kids receive meals such as Spaghetti and Meatballs, Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs with French Onion Style Sauce, Chicken Salad with Herbs, and Beef Bourguignon.
“We are more than a restaurant group,” says Yacoub. “We are a family of passionate people dedicated to doing better every day and are so inspired by the kindness of our restaurant teams and the ways that they come together throughout the year to take care of their communities.”
