Our Mission
.png)
Student LunchBox (SLB) is a nonprofit
charitable organization committed to fighting food insecurity among college students.
Established in 2020, SLB emerged with a clear mission to eradicate campus hunger and foster academic success.
To address this pressing need, we have
devised an innovative approach that focuses on repurposing food waste to benefit those in need. In our close collaboration with local agencies, businesses, and community members, we actively purchase and rescue safe and
nutritious food that would otherwise end up in landfills. Our partnerships with major colleges and universities in Los Angeles County allow us to serve over 6000 students monthly,
providing college students with vital sustenance, including fresh fruits and vegetables, a wide range of grocery items, whole grains, protein sources, and many other food items tailored to their immediate nutritional needs.
We believe that no student should have to choose between education and access to food.
Our Vision

At Student LunchBox, our vision is to create a future where every college student has access to nutritious food, empowering them to thrive academically, achieve their full potential, and succeed in their educational journey. We envision a campus community where no student has to worry about hunger or the impact of food insecurity on their well-being. By fostering partnerships, promoting awareness, and implementing sustainable solutions, we strive to eliminate the barriers that hinder students from accessing balanced meals. Through our innovative programs and unwavering dedication, we envision a world where every college student can focus on their studies, develop their skills, and build a brighter future without the burden of hunger. Together, we are working towards a society where food insecurity is eradicated, creating equal opportunities for all students to flourish and contribute positively to their communities.

we are confident in our ability to tackle
this pressing issue head-on, ensuring that no college student goes hungry.
