A service that delivers school lunches to students who would otherwise go without is set to expand in Hume and Whittlesea.
Eat Up founder Lyndon Galea started delivering packed lunches to Lalor East Primary School this month after making contact with the Thomastown school’s assistant principal Linda Richards. Ms Richards said the school had about five pupils who regularly came to school without lunch.
“It’s always been a bit of an issue here,” she said. “Prior to Eat Up, we would make them some toast and give them some fruit. But for us, this is so much simpler.”
Mr Galea started the enterprise earlier this year in his home town of Shepparton.
“We’re looking to expand in Hume and Whittlesea and would welcome any schools contacting us,” Mr Galea said.
