Making sure every
kid has lunch
What’s The Lunch Box Fund?
We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working alongside Arkansas schools to help ensure students have access to meals, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
We help address unpaid student meal balances and support schools in making sure no child is denied a meal or placed in an uncomfortable position because of cost.
At the heart of our work is one simple belief: every child deserves a lunch.
In Arkansas, too many children and families face food insecurity every day.
• 1 in 4 Arkansas children faces hunger
• More than 168,000 children are food insecure
• Arkansas ranks among the highest states in the nation for food insecurity
Just $5 can provide a school lunch for a day.
When you give to The Lunch Box Fund, you help:
• Ensure a child can receive a meal without hesitation, embarrassment, or stigma
• Support schools as they care for students beyond the classroom
• Ease financial pressure on families navigating difficult circumstances
• Help create dignity, stability, and support where it’s needed most
LUNCH BOX KIDS CLUB
Become part of the Lunch Box Kids Club, our community of monthly donors helping provide reliable, year-round support for Arkansas children and families.
Recurring gifts help us respond consistently, support schools with greater confidence, and ensure more children have access to meals when they need them most.
A monthly gift may feel small—but to a child, it can mean one less barrier to learning, growing, and simply being a kid.
