Supporting the King's Community

Our Dinner is Served program is a heartwarming endeavour at King's, designed to provide support and care to our King's families. Whether it's a joyous occasion like the arrival of a new baby, or a challenging time due to an injury, family illness, loss, or high-stress situation, our program ensures that a comforting homestyle meal or a thoughtful care package is available.

How It Operates

A user-friendly form is accessible on our website for all parents to recommend a family or staff member who could benefit from a meal or care package.

Nominate a Family

Once a nomination is received, a family meal or care package is prepared, and our Student Services team contacts the nominated family to arrange for delivery or collection.

Our generous King's Community members either cook and donate these meals or contribute through donations to support this wonderful initiative.

Meals and monetary donation boxes can be found at Student Services and Friendship House.
