Feeding hungry kids so they can learn, grow and succeed.

1 in 5 Australian students at the schools we support need an Eat Up lunch*

In a country like ours, that's not really fair, is it? Children frequently arrive at school without the food they need to fuel their growing bodies and brains. Missing out on lunch has a big impact on children, with hunger causing fatigue and poor concentration. This commonly leads to learning difficulties and behavioural problems in school, with disadvantaged children falling further behind their peers. Many children come from homes experiencing financial hardship, substance abuse, violence, homelessness or are refugees.

​Eat Up is Australia’s only organisation providing free lunches to students on a national scale. To date, we have provided over 3.7 million lunches to Aussie kids in need! With the help of our partners and dedicated volunteers, each week, Eat Up makes and delivers over 30,000 lunches directly to schools for vulnerable children. Eat Up operates efficiently with a ratio of one staff member for every 700 volunteers! Source:
