ABOUT EAT UP

Eat Up is the first Australian not-for-profit to provide lunches to hungry students nationally. Volunteers and donations have been key to Eat Up's growth helping Eat Up to grow from supporting 20 regional Victorian schools in 2014, to now reaching 900+ schools in NSW, NT, QLD, VIC, and WA.

By providing nourishment to disadvantaged students at school, Eat Up aims to improve their engagement in the classroom so they can better take advantage of learning opportunities, succeed in education, and ultimately, have a brighter future.

Eat Up engages with thousands of volunteers to prepare the 25,000+ sandwiches it delivers each week. This provides a valuable opportunity for community organisations, regional groups, workplaces, school students, and individuals to contribute in a direct and meaningful way to end hunger in schools.

Prepared sandwiches are delivered by Eat Up to over 900 schools, along with healthy snacks. Schools then freeze the sandwiches and toast them daily as needed.

We are a dynamic and energetic team who are passionate about helping kids reach their potential.
