Mission Statement
Sunday Lunchbox is a 501(c)3 organization improving access to healthy, local food for Austin families. Our mission is to provide nutritious and community inspired food for those most underserved by our food system in Austin. . We believe healthy food is a right, not a privilege.
Description
We’re being creative, to get your kids eating healthy and loving it!
Our Lunchbox Family Program is our longest-standing and core program here at Sunday Lunchbox. Families register for our Lunchbox Family program and receive weekly access to Sunday Lunchbox’s menu of minimally processed, locally sourced products at no cost. These products include fresh produce from local farms as well as shelf stable products and gluten/dairy free baked goods, all containing local produce.
Sunday Lunchbox is able to provide local produce and locally sourced meals by combining our food rescue efforts (Bumps & Bruises program!), our amazingly dedicated volunteer base, and a focus on innovation to produce nourishing and community inspired foods that kids love. Thanks to our wide base of volunteers and community partners, we’re able to deliver the food directly to families and remove barriers of access to those systemically underserved.
