The One Box

Our charity is driven by a mission to ensure that as many families as possible have dignified, reliable, and regular access to fresh, nutritious food. 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 commitment to community wellbeing

As a business, we are committed to supporting the communities around us. Leveraging off the expertise, resources, and supply chain of The Fruit Box Group, The One Box is a new and efficient charity model that that delivers maximum value to the community in a dignified way.

The significant cost savings of the model enable The One Box to allocate a greater proportion of resources toward distributing and donating the types of fresh and nutritious foods that people need most, but often have difficulty affording. For each $1 donated, almost $2 worth of fresh food is received in the hands of families experiencing food insecurity across Australia.

Helping families in need, one box at a time

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.

Unlocking The One Box difference

In 2020, The One Box established a research partnership with the Department of Accounting, Monash Business School. This commitment to independent research helps us measure the value created by our charity. Since then, many surveys, field studies, interviews, and two research reports have been published.

Research shows the consistent, reliable fresh food relief provided by The One Box has fundamental benefits beyond financial and nutritional – including building community connection and trust, inclusion and dignity, and greater family wellbeing.

Corporate partners and donors

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.

Testimonials

“The impact [of The One Box] on this family’s life has been fantastic. Not only are the children no longer needing emergency lunches, their attendance is better, their general wellbeing has improved, and we have built a really positive relationship with the parents.”

SA Primary School

“If you go to most places when they do hand out food, it’s gone off the next day. Particularly the fruit and veg and stuff, it’s just about ready to go off. But The One Box, when you get the food, the fruit and vegies, it’s going to last at least a week… It’s fresh, it’s not just about finished and at the end of its shelf life.”

Mum of three, Queensland

“The One Box significantly increased the family’s wellbeing, materially and emotionally, by relieving the financial strain they felt and supporting their children to eat nutritious food. The One Box has gotten the family though several weeks of the year.”

NSW Community Organisation

“It is such a big help to our community, especially the fresh fruit. The families that get the box are very happy with it and they tell me that they use everything in the box.”

Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place, Victoria

“I take care of 7 children – 3 of my own and 4 foster kids. One of the best things about getting the box is that the kids have the best and freshest fruits every week.”
