THE GREAT BIG CRUNCH is a national movement and annual moment of anti-silence in which students, teachers, parents and others passionate about food join the food movement and crunch into apples (or other crunchy fruit or vegetable) to make noise for healthy school food! Every year since 2008, Canadians from coast to coast have participated in the Great Big Crunch, an initiative of FoodShare Toronto.

THIS YEAR AGAIN, Food Secure Canada and the Coalition for Healthy School Food joined FoodShare and others across the country seeking a National Canadian investment in a cost shared universal school program.

Organize your Crunch!

Find a teacher and school that is interested in their students participating and order some local crunchy fruit or veg. You can invite your local MP, other local politicians, farmers, educators, the local media and community leaders.

Kids and schools from across Canada register before crunch day online. Participants can sign up individually, by class, by school and/or school board!
