We've now given 1,820,208 lunches to Kiwi kids.

feed a kid to learn

 

We believe all kids deserve a fair start in life.

But with one-in-four Kiwi kids living in poverty, this often isn't the case.

Since 2016, Eat My Lunch has made over 1.7 million lunches for Kiwi kids that would otherwise go hungry at school.  Pretty cool hey?

Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go!

So, how can you help? You can Give a lunch each week, fortnight or month to help feed the long list of schools on our waitlist. These schools don't qualify for government funding so their hungry students can't thrive at school.

With a Give subscription you can provide 52 lunches a year and make a real change to kids in your community.

 

Anyone from anywhere can give a lunch

GIVE A LUNCH NOW

 

There are currently 12 schools on our waitlist. That's a lot of hungry kids waiting for lunch.

Historically, we have made Give lunches to low decile schools, however, the decile number or the school's equity does not always reflect the students and families financial situation.

Now the need is across schools, decile 1 to 10.

TEACHER REVIEWS

What's included in a give lunch?

 

The ‘Give’ lunches include three items: a freshly made, wholemeal sandwich with chicken/ham/tuna & salad, piece of fruit or vegetable, and a baked treat.

The Eat My Lunch founders, Lisa & Michael have a strong philosophy that only food they would give their own children would go in these lunches.
