Supporting Eat Up Australia
Gathering at our Education Centre in Clarkson, the team spent less than an hour making over 1000 cheese sandwiches that will be distributed to schools in our local area to support children in need.
Eat Up is Australia’s only organisation providing free lunches to students on a national scale.
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.
To date, Eat Up Australia has provided over 3 million lunches to Aussie kids in need! With the help of partners and dedicated volunteers, each week Eat Up makes and delivers over 20,000 lunches directly to schools for vulnerable children.
Their mission is to feed hungry kids so that they can learn, grow and succeed.
We were delighted to support our Charity Partner once again and it also doubled as a wonderful morning of team building, raising awareness and meeting people all whilst contributing to such a meaningful cause.
