The program has been offering local school students a free breakfast three mornings a week.

Students, mostly from Gorokan High School, mingle at the centre and enjoy choices from a menu including bacon and eggs, toast, cereals, breakfast muffins, hot chocolate and juice.

Last year, volunteer co-ordinator Leonie Ralph and her team served 2984 meals.

This week, the Breakfast Club expanded its operation to four mornings a week, thanks to a $4000 donation from Lake Haven Shopping Centre.

"We regularly serve about 70 students a day now," Ms Ralph said.

"A lot of the kids come because they miss out on breakfast at home, but many come to be social in the morning, or just for the hot chocolate."

Ms Ralph said students had come to respect and appreciate the Breakfast Club.

"At the start, we had some kids who would just walk in and walk out with breakfast and wouldn't speak to us," she said.

"But now, the kids all say thank you and have a chat and even give me a hug."

Food is donated to the Breakfast Club by local businesses such as Kellogg's, Baker's Delight, and the butchery Meat at George's.
