MORE than 600 schoolchildren are getting a healthy boost through Port Adelaide's ground-breaking Power to End Hunger partnership with Foodbank SA and IGA supermarkets.

Students at 13 primary schools across the metropolitan area are taking part in a four-week pilot program delivering breakfast and messages about the importance of a nutritious start to the day.

Each school has partnered with a local IGA supermarket, which is supplying all breakfast provisions as part of IGA's commitment as an inaugural principal partner of the Power to End Hunger campaign.

Power chief executive Keith Thomas - noting how 5000 SA children go to school hungry every day - said the program was the latest positive community outcome from the club's unique partnership with Foodbank SA.

"The Power to End Hunger partnership is one of Port Adelaide's proudest achievements from 2012 and it continues to make a real difference to the lives of many South Australians," Thomas said.

"IGA was among the first to come aboard with Port and Foodbank as we set about elevating awareness of this important social issue and finding ways to help end hunger.

"Now it's delivering on its commitment by supplying food to local schools in what is starting out as a trial program, but one we can see growing with the Power to End Hunger campaign."
