The Lunchbox London is a registered not-for-profit organization run by Colin and Alexandra Everitt dedicated to providing food assistance to school-aged children in food insecure families throughout London, Ontario. Their mission is to address food insecurity while reducing food waste, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.
The mission of The Lunchbox London is twofold: to combat food insecurity among school-aged children and to reduce food waste by rescuing food that would otherwise go to landfills. By distributing donated and rescued food, they support the nutritional needs of struggling families and contribute to environmental sustainability.
Proper nutrition is crucial for children’s overall growth and development, affecting their academic performance and social well-being. By tackling food insecurity, The Lunchbox London creates an environment where every child can reach their full potential. Since their inception in April 2023, they have provided over 800 food bundles to families, amounting to approximately 12,000 pounds of food.
The Lunchbox London started as a grassroots initiative in April 2023, aiming to provide healthy lunch foods to food insecure families. In November 2023, they became a registered not-for-profit, offering opportunities for sponsorships, grants, and support from local businesses. Recognized for their contributions, The Lunchbox London has been nominated as a Food System Champion.
