EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer weekly free dinners for families with at least one child under 6 years of age. Our dinner programs provide an environment for families to connect at the end of the day. We provide the dinner and play space so you can have that additional time to interact with your little one. You must register one day prior as space is limited. Please understand that we cannot accept non-registered families for dinner as food is purchased in advance and based on registered numbers.

The goal of this program is to foster intergenerational interactions and provide young families with great plan ahead meals and/or quick and easy options that are budget friendly.
