Children in economic insecurity are often fed cheap, processed food by default. The options typically available to keep them fed are simply not good enough. Sunday Lunchbox exists to break the link between economic insecurity and nutritional inequity, not by solving economic insecurity, but by removing nutritional inequity as a symptom of it.
Hunger Action Month belongs to Feeding America, and in Central Texas the Central Texas Food Bank carries it across twenty-one counties. We're grateful for their work, and for Keep Austin Fed. Here's the piece we add.
Fresh produce every week, plus produce we freeze-dry or dehydrate ourselves so it keeps.
Families tell us what they'd like to see, from more than ninety items, in English and Spanish.
No lines, no pantry hours, and no child singled out at school.
We track how families move over time on access, tools and agency, not just how much food went out the door.
Much of what we deliver is rescued from farms and grocers that would otherwise have thrown it away.
We deliver a Market Box to families across Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock and Manor. Families enroll on our website and set their own preferences.
Three hundred people gave 4,005 hours last year. What we need most this autumn is drivers, plus packing and preservation shifts.
$25 a month is roughly the cost of a Market Box. Ask whether your employer matches, most people never check.
