Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide students in need, their third meal. By partnering with corporations, we are developing a platform and app that provides an easy and dignified way for a child to receive a healthy, school approved meal from a partnering restaurant. In doing so, we are helping not only the child but supporting the community as well.
About This Cause
Today, we know that approximately 30 million students in our country qualify for free or reduced cost school lunches through a federal program called the National School Lunch Program. The NSLP covers costs for schools to provide lunch and in most cases breakfast. However for millions of them, it can be impossible to secure that third meal of the day. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), hunger due to insufficient food intake is associated with lower grades, higher rates of absenteeism, repeating a grade, and the inability to focus among students. Such studies show that eating breakfast and lunch is vital to student performance. The Third Meal offers a sustainable, dignified and discreet service (for both recipients and donors), through advanced user-friendly technology, leveraging the good will, kindness and generosity of corporations and private donors.
