At The Fruit Box Group, delivering fresh produce is only part of the story. Through our national food relief initiative, The One Box, we also provide weekly boxes of fruit, vegetables and bread to families experiencing hardship, distributed via trusted schools and community organisations across Australia.
The One Box began as a small pilot program in 2017 with a simple yet powerful mission: to ensure as many people as possible have dignified, reliable and regular access to fresh, nutritious food. Over the years, we’ve not only seen The One Box scale its impact but become a force for good, thanks to the many enduring and long-term corporate partnerships – pivotal in expanding the program’s reach.
New partnership, new opportunities
Access to fresh, high-quality food goes a long way, which is why we are thrilled to share the potential impact of The One Box’s new corporate partnership with Pace Farm. As one of the country’s leading egg producers, Pace Farm brings a long-standing commitment to supporting Australian families. Their company vision – eggs for everyone – speaks directly to the heart of what we do: making nutritious food more accessible to those who need it most.
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. Validated by Monash Business School’s independent research, The One Box’s impact extends well beyond nutrition – supporting mental health, restoring dignity and strengthening community connections.
A partnership grounded in shared values
United by the mission of making nutritious food accessible, The One Box’s partnership with Pace Farm exemplifies the lasting, incremental impact multi-year grants can have in solving deep-rooted issues like food insecurity.
“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.” – Phil Wiese, CEO, Pace Farm
Multiplying impact one box at a time, Pace Farm’s funding goes beyond financial support. It propels the holistic growth of The One Box, and, in turn, the health and community wellbeing of thousands of Australians.
“The impact enablement that Pace Farm’s donation provides is outstanding. We are thrilled by the opportunity to work closely together to better support kids and families in need. We look forward to being able to dream big together.” – Martin Halphen, CEO, The One Box
