Partners in Long-term Impact – Sidney Myer Fund
The One Box continues to transform fresh food relief, thanks to the support of multi-year grants, donors, philanthropic and corporate relationships. Each enduring partnership not only reaffirms the strength of collaboration but exemplifies the incremental impact ongoing donations can have in solving deep-rooted issues like food insecurity.
One such philanthropic partnership has been with The Sidney Myer Fund.
The Sidney Myer Fund has been a steadfast supporter of The One Box since 2020, playing a pivotal role in our journey of alleviating food insecurity through a global pandemic and now, an escalating cost-of-living-crisis. Over the past five years, this multi-year partnership has assisted The One Box in expanding capacity nationally, distributing 5,948 fresh food boxes to 150 households every year, throughout the school term.
As a philanthropic partner, their generosity has helped The One Box consistently deliver quality, fresh food whilst improving operational capabilities. By streamlining our supply chain, The One Box was able to provide a box of fresh produce with a retail value of $25 for just $12.61 – further leveraging resources to reach more families in need.
New Beginnings Rooted in Shared Purpose – Pace Farm
In 2025, The One Box also welcomed a new corporate partnership with Pace Farm, together committing to help alleviate food insecurity in Australia.
As one of the country’s largest egg producers, providing farm fresh nutritious eggs to Australians everywhere, every day – Pace Farm sets a powerful example of how purpose-led businesses can shape a more inclusive, food secure future.
Their generous $50,000 donation to The One Box will fund the delivery of 4,000 fresh produce boxes to schools along the Eastern Seaboard – enabling 100 households to access fresh food they otherwise cannot afford. United by the belief that nutritious food is a right, not a privilege, our partnership showcases how value-aligned collaboration can nourish families, strengthen communities and offer hope to future generations.
