The Daily Charitable Trust

Help us feed lunch to Te Puke students that are not funded in the Lunches in Schools programme, but still need this support.

Te Puke, Bay Of Plenty

This year, The Daily Charitable Trust will be providing an extra 40,000 school lunches to 200+ students that are not eligible under the current Lunches in Schools system, but still desperately need healthy kai for learning. Become a Lunchbox Legend by sponsoring a meal for a child. Each meal includes a healthy hot or cold meal served with a side of fruit and includes the delivery to the school.

As a guide: $5 will cover for one meal for one child, $25 will cover the meals for one week for one child, $250 will cover the meals for one school term for one child, $1,000 will cover the meals for one school year for one child! Please also get in touch with chrissi@thedaily.org.nz if you want to discuss payroll or corporate sponsorship.

Thank you for your support  12 November 2025

We are happy to report that among all the recent changes, we are still feeding students in Te Puke who need a lunch for learning, and fall outside the Ka Ora Ka Ako government lunches programme. Thank you for being such a vital part of this!

We are going to close this Givealittle page now - watch this space for our next campaign to help us resite our commercial kitchen!
