Community Lunch
When school is out of session, students lose access to the nutrition they receive from school breakfasts and lunches. This puts a strain on families struggling to make ends meet, and can jeopardize family food security. IGI has been here to bridge this “nutrition gap” since we started our Community Lunch program in 2017, providing free lunches to children and families in need of food support during summer vacation and other school breaks. We provide approximately 15,000 lunches and meal kits through Community Lunch each year.
Volunteers power our Community Lunch program, helping prepare, package and distribute meals. Sign up HERE to help in our kitchen!
When does it run?
The Community Lunch Program is available during summer break, February vacation break and April vacation break.
Who is eligible?
Lunches are available to anyone who can benefit from a fresh, ready-made free lunch.
