Food Support

The Lunchbox Project

Thanks to the continuous support of J&W Murphy Foundation, our onsite chef prepares free healthy meals for over 600 students each week for students at Cunard Junior High School and J.L. Ilsley High School in Spryfield. Favourite meals include stir-fry and rice, curry, and macaroni and cheese.

These healthy, free school lunches are served from Tuesday to Thursday, at Cunard Junior High School, and on Thursdays at J.L. Ilsley from September to June.
