Our model of Buy One, Give One makes it so easy for anyone to contribute through the purchase of something as simple as a lunch.
We are the catering choice that makes a big difference.
Every lunch you buy means we can give a lunch to a Kiwi kid who would otherwise go without. It’s a little gesture that’s had a great impact for so many Kiwi kids. With a good lunch in their tummies, the kids do better in so many ways from helping them focus on learning to simply just putting a smile on their faces.
our Story
"To ensure that no child at school goes hungry, starting with kids right here in our own backyard."
Lisa and Michael’s mission in 2015 was to ensure that no child at school goes hungry, starting with kids right here in our own backyard and this continues to be our mission today.
62% of schools saw improved attendance, 69% saw improved behaviour and 89% saw an improvement in student health & wellbeing.
June this year marked our 5th birthday and we are proud to have Given away over 1.5million lunches to Kiwi kids in need. But we have a waiting list of over 90 schools in Auckland and Wellington alone so there is still so much for us to do.
The journey has just begun. You can help us reach the kids that we need to.
what our schools say
a note from the gm
We started out wanting to alleviate a nationwide issue by creating change through something as routine as a lunch. Now from our heart-warming response it’s official – Kiwis really do love to help out!
Both of us appreciate that everyone involved with Eat My Lunch is giving. From the people who buy a lunch to the many volunteers who give up their time to help make, pack and deliver the kid’s lunches. The generosity of everyday Kiwis in getting behind Eat My Lunch has been overwhelming and really drives us to do more.
We’re happy that it’s easy to love your lunch more as well – knowing a hungry Kiwi kid is having a lunch too because of you.
