9 Ways You can help Feed Kiwi kids

Since day one, we’ve been committed to feeding Kiwi kids in need.

Food insecurity and child poverty are widespread throughout New Zealand families and, Covid19 has played a big part in the growth of this problem.   

Fortunately, Eat My Lunch have lots of ways individuals and businesses can help Give healthy school lunches to kids that need them.   

1. Order your lunch from us regularly

With work and home commitments, school drop-offs and pick-ups, food shopping, exercise, me-time, partner-time, and family-time - it all adds up to NO TIME at all.

Give yourself a break and make your lunch our problem.  Once a week when you don’t have to think about it.  Once a week when a child is tucking into a healthy lunch, all thanks to you. Lots of dietary options available too.

2. Volunteer

Eat My Lunch volunteer mornings are legendary. Our Auckland and Wellington Give coordinators make your morning fun and rewarding, and we don’t subject you to bad music or bad coffee. This is a great way to connect with your team, share their volunteer experience with customers and help kids close to home. 

3. Choose us as your caterer

Lunches, morning and afternoon teas, business breakfast, lunch shout, picnic boxes, grazing platters – we do it all!  Who wouldn’t want to be part of something delicious and meaningful?

4. Gift boxes

For every gift box you Buy, we Give 2-8 healthy school lunches to Kiwi kids in need.  It’s a thoughtful way to say thanks to clients, staff, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, Christmas – especially those who are tricky to buy for (and we all know one!).  There’s even an Isolation Health and Wellness box available. Delivered nationwide. 

5. Sponsor a Give school for a year

Did you know you can provide lunches for a school for a month, a term, or a year? It could be a certain number of lunches or a one-off contribution, it’s really up to you.  We see companies prioritising their community contributions more and more each year.   

6. Feed a child for $5

7. Snack boxes for virtual meetings

Virtual meetings are the new black.  Whether your staff are on-site or working from home, our snack boxes are the ideal way to keep your team fuelled and focused. Delivered nationwide. 

8. Partner with us

9. Add a Google review

The more people who know about our mission, the more Kiwi kids we can help.  Reviews offer peace of mind and make customers feel safe about the products they buy.  

85% of consumers google a business before making a buying decision.  Whether you’re in the market for a fridge, a new book or want to know how good a restaurant is, we instinctively seek out opinions from others. 

And finally …

To date, we’ve Given over 1.7 million lunches – no small feat!  Whether its the school holidays or term time – every product you buy generates a Give lunch*. Every lunch counts.  

*Give lunches that are generated when kids aren’t at school, are held as surplus lunches to be used when kids are back in the classroom.
