What is The One Box?

In a lucky country like Australia, it’s really sad that so many families can’t afford to put fresh and nutritious food on the table. With thousands of children going without, we felt it was our social responsibility to try and make a difference.

The One Box program is an initiative that provides Australian families in need with a free weekly box full of fresh fruit, vegies, and bread over the full school year.

How Does it Work?

Each week, our team hand packs fresh fruit and vegies from Aussie farmers along with fresh wholemeal bread. Working with local community groups to identify families in need, we then deliver those boxes to hubs for collection by the families.
