1 in 5 children in Australia attend school without food from home to fuel their growing bodies and minds. Missing meals has a big impact on a hungry students; "They get fatigued and their concentration levels drop, they find it hard to listen and when you get hungry you tend to get grumpy as well. Just knowing that there's food here keeps their learning ability to the best"— Principal of Eaglehawk Primary School, Bendigo. Eat Up provides more than 7,000 school lunches a week with the help of 3,000 amazing volunteers. This, combined with ongoing donations of ingredients and snacks helps to keep our costs very low.
