The McConnell Dowell team partnered with Eat My Lunch in 2020. Eat My Lunch is a catering business and a social enterprise where every product purchased provides lunch to a New Zealand child in need. Eat My Lunch call it a commitment to “Buy One Give One”.
Using Eat My Lunch as a catering company is a small change companies can make that has a great impact and with 1 in 4 Kiwi kids living in poverty, it's an impact that can make a big difference to a child's day at school. Eating lunch is important, making sure kids brains have sufficient calories is the best way to help ensure they are actively listening and learning. A good healthy lunch like the ones provided, a sandwich, a snack and some fruit, is the best way to feed young minds.
Since partnering with Eat My Lunch, McConnell Dowell has, by buying platters and lunch boxes to cater for events and meetings, helped provide 366 school lunches for kids in need.
