Our ingredients for sustainability

We’ve baked in sustainability from the start. It requires a trifecta partnership between philanthropy, government and parents.

Our trifecta partnership

Government supports F4E directly, by paying for 230,000 meals per day — 68% of total meals currently served.

Philanthropic funding has stoked our vision, investing in our operational model as we R&D, amp up our scale, and drive down our cost per meal.

Parents tap in with their own contribution. We want every parent to buy a healthy, safe, delicious school lunch their kids love. Payment amounts vary by location and ability.
