We’re thrilled to share this showcase of the Eat Up program across regional areas all over Australia! A massive shoutout to the incredible community volunteers, such as Lions Club, Rotary, CWA, and so many more, who make our Regional program possible. We literally couldn’t support regional kids without you. In this video, you’ll meet some of the superstars representing our entire army of beautiful and generous volunteers who make and deliver all the lunches we provide to schools in regional areas. A HUGE THANKS to Qantas, who generously filmed and produced this video for Eat Up as part of their 2023 Regional Grants program. We are beyond grateful for their support.

Have you heard? End of financial year is here, and you know what that means… SALES, SALES, SALES! 🛍️ But hold onto your wallets, because Eat Up’s EOFY sale is a little different... For a limited time, you can “buy” one month of delicious school lunches, lovingly made, packed, and delivered for just $30! Plus, any “purchase” over $2 is tax-deductible! 💰 Our exclusive lunch package includes: 🥪 A scrumptious cheese toastie made with high-fibre Wonder bread and oozy Bidfood tasty cheese, with Heinz Beanz as an optional extra! 😋A nutritious Chobani yoghurt pouch (yum!) 🐵A delectable Messy Monkeys recess snack (crunchy goodness) 🍎A piece of fresh fruit (nature’s candy) But here’s the catch... this lunch pack won’t be delivered to your door. Instead, it will go to one of the 890+ schools we support and handed to a disadvantaged child who would otherwise go without. Ready to make a tax-deductible donation?
