THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM
Good school food, affordable for all.
Australia is one of the world’s richest countries. Yet 15% of children arrive at school without lunch or money to spend at the canteen. Rising prices put a strain on family budgets
What if every child in Australia had access to a good lunch at school, regardless of their background or circumstance?
Become a pilot school!
We are trialling a new way of serving lunch at school with a pilot at Berrima Public School. We will be serving fresh, tasty meals, made from scratch and affordable for all.
We’d like to extend the pilot into more schools, and need resourcing to do that. Please get in touch if you’d like to be a pilot school or would like to help us.
