Fundraising Events

Schoolchildren sponsorship

To remedy the unfortunate fact that many elementary schoolchildren eat too little or insufficiently, the Lil Lunch Boxes project was created in 2013 targeting schools in underprivileged areas. You can sponsor a child, who as result will eat a warm lunch.

$50: a lunch + a snack every day for a whole school week
$100: a lunch + a snack every day for a whole school month
$500: a lunch + a snack every day for a half-school year
$1000: a dinner + a snack for an entire school year

Meal booklets

Based on the suspended coffee concept, buy a Chef’s Best booklet and offer frozen take-out meals to a family in need. This tangible support protects the parent’s dignity, because, thanks to you, they will be able to pay for the meals with the coupons in the booklet. Created over the pandemic, the Chef’s Bests are growing strongly, allowing families living in poverty to have access to a delicious frozen meal at a reasonable price. Our users come once a week and may have one meal per day per family member.
