Nourishing Our Schools
OzHarvest’s Nourishing Our Schools program tackles children’s food insecurity both in schools and at home across Perth. Schools can register for both programs - School Essential Boxes and Community Essential Boxes.
Schools Essentials Boxes
The Schools Essential box is aimed at vulnerable individual students, addressing children’s food insecurity within the school environment during school hours.
OzHarvest will work closely to meet the requirements of each school and the number of students requiring food relief through the different programs. Each school will be offered a minimum of two boxes (20 kilograms of food) each week.
Food supplies will be tailored to meet the needs of the school programs where possible and may include, fruits, vegetables, bread, cereal, yoghurt, spreads and healthy snacks.
Community Essentials Boxes
The Community Essentials Box is aimed at vulnerable families in the school community, addressing children’s food insecurity from the home environment outside of school hours.
Each school will receive up to 100 Community Boxes over a year to distribute to families within the school community as needed.
Food supplies will look to meet diverse cultural and dietary needs, and may include fruit and vegetables; bread; cereal; canned goods; milk and yoghurt.
