About Us
Our journey began in September 2023, marked by a humble yet deeply impactful mission: to ensure that no child attending school experiences hunger. Our inspiration was born from the alarming statistic that 1 in 5 Queensland kids arrived at school without a lunch. This revelation stirred a profound need to take action, and so, we initiated our mission right here within our local Gold Coast community.
Our founder, Andy Glenn, brings over three decades of expertise. He embarked on a heartfelt journey, united by a shared purpose: to enhance the well-being, health, and confidence of children by providing them with a nourishing meal.
#be the difference in the lives of children, one lunch at a time.
