Support children’s health, focus and learning

We are pleased to share The One Box 2025 Annual Report – reinforcing a simple but powerful truth: when communities show up consistently for families in need, the impact goes far beyond the immediate moment.
This year’s report highlights the partnerships, research and real stories helping families move beyond food relief towards greater stability, resilience and independence.

More than 1,000 families across 75+ schools are still waiting for support. Your business can help us meet rising demand and grow our impact.
Corporate support helps us scale our impact. From workplace giving to corporate donations, partners like Pace Farm play a key role in helping us reach more families, faster.
A $50,000 donation from Pace Farm is enabling The One Box to partner with schools and distribute 4,000 boxes to 100 families experiencing hardship.
“Our company vision is eggs for everyone, which closely aligns with The One Box’s mission – both organisations want to improve access to nutritious food for all Australians. Providing 100 families with fresh, healthy food for a whole school year is just one way we can help reduce food insecurity, build stronger communities and bring our vision to life in meaningful way.” Phil Wiese, Pace Farm Chief Executive Officer

Each week, The Fruit Box Group hand packs and delivers boxes of locally sourced, high quality fresh produce to 100 Australian primary schools. These boxes are received by families experiencing hardship each week throughout the school year.
The Fruit Box Group continues to be the primary sponsor of The One Box program. Without the dedication and commitment of our community and corporate partners, The One Box would not reach the families that need it.
Our team are always open to working with corporate partners who, like us, recognise the huge potential to make a difference in the food relief sector. If you would like to chat about working together, or support our charity in other exciting and meaningful ways, contact us to start a conversation.
