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.

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.
