The Foundation of Student Success
Student LunchBox does not stand alone. The work of feeding 8,000+ college students monthly across Los Angeles County is made possible by a growing community of foundations, corporations, government partners, and individual philanthropists who believe that every student deserves the stability to pursue their education. We are honored to recognize them here.

We are proud to stand alongside these leaders as we build a sustainable future for every student we serve.
