At the School Lunch Association, we believe every child deserves a healthy, delicious lunch. Together, we're helping children across Newfoundland and Labrador grow, learn and enjoy their school day.

Our journey began in 1988, when an interchurch group in St. John's published a report called Poverty: The One Thing Money Can't Buy. It revealed a stark reality: hunger was keeping children from school.

A committee formed, backed by the provincial government. On November 6, 1989, 147 hot lunches were served to every student at Bishop Feild Elementary. No questions asked, no child left out.

That small act sparked a movement. Today the School Lunch Association is a registered charity feeding children across the province. Our pay-what-you-can model ensures every family can take part, and every contribution stays confidential.

How it works

Pay what works for your family

1

Register your child

Create an account and add each child and their school.

2

Order the days you want

Pick any combination of days. There is no minimum, and you can change your order later.

3

Pay what you can

We request $6.00 per meal — however, in our pay-what-you-can model, you can adjust your payment to an amount that works for you and your family. Amounts are confidential.

As we operate a non-stigmatizing program, every child receives the same lunch each day and all payments are confidential.
