Nourishing Minds, Fueling Futures: The ABC Breakfast Program

By Martha Fluery | President

ABC Breakfast Program

Breakfast is not just the most important meal of the day; it's a vital ingredient in a child's academic success. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the generous donors who have supported the Abaco StrongBreakfast Program. Your generosity has made a significant impact, and we want to highlight the positive transformations that your contributions have initiated.

The Abaco Strong Breakfast for Children (ABC) Program serves a wholesome meal twice a week to nearly 200 students. A typical breakfast includes an assortment of sausage and grits, fresh fruits, fluffy pancakes, and locally sourced farm-fresh eggs, generously donated by a local farmer.

The impact of a nutritious breakfast extends far beyond the breakfast table. Studies have shown that children who start their day with a balanced meal exhibit improved concentration, better academic performance, and enhanced behavior in the classroom. The program also helps to relieve the burden on many families that are struggling with food security. By ensuring that children have access to a healthy breakfast, the ABC Breakfast Program is paving the way for brighter futures and empowering these young minds to reach their full potential.

We need your help to continue this worthwhile program, and we invite you to consider becoming a monthly donor to the ABC Breakfast Program. Your consistent support can help sustain this invaluable initiative and ensure that no child starts their day hungry. What's more, the impact of your contribution can be magnified through GlobalGiving's matching program, which doubles your donations after the first four payments. Join us in nourishing minds and fueling futures.

Let's continue to work together to provide the nourishment that our children need to thrive. Join us in this journey towards brighter tomorrows for the children of Abaco.

Thank you for your support!

Making a Difference: The Abaco Strong ABC Breakfast Program

By Martha Fleury | President

As we approach the end of 2023, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the generous donors who have supported the Abaco Strong, ABC Breakfast Program. Your kindness has had a profound impact, and we would like to shine a light on the positive changes your contributions have brought about.

Last September, we kicked off the second year of our breakfast program at Coopers Town Primary School, where we provide nourishing meals to 177 children twice a week in Abaco. Our menu embraces the flavors of Bahamian culture, offering a delightful assortment of sausage and grits, fruits, pancakes, locally sourced produce and farm-fresh eggs generously donated by a local farmer.

A nutritious morning meal plays a pivotal role in fostering academic progress and achievement. Many families in Abaco are still struggling to put food on the table due to the lingering effects of the Global Pandemic and the devastation of Hurricane Dorian. Our goal is to ensure that each child will continue to receive a nutritious breakfast that kickstarts their school day throughout the school year. With your continued support, we are determined to reach 100% funding for the ABC Breakfast Program.

We kindly ask you to consider Becoming a Monthly Donor The impact of your contribution can be magnified through GlobalGiving's matching program, which doubles your donations after the first four payments. This presents an extraordinary opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of the school children in the Abaco community.

We sincerely appreciate your donation in any amount. By supporting the ABC Breakfast Program, together, we can transform lives and create lasting change. Let's give these children the opportunity to start each day with a nutritious meal, providing them with the foundation they need to unlock their full potential.

Wishing You Many Blessings during this Holiday Season,

The Abaco Strong Team
