Eat My Lunch launches crowdfunding campaign
Startup Eat My Lunch today launched a project crowdfunding campaign on PledgeMe to support the work it is doing to alleviate child poverty in New Zealand.
Eat My
Lunch operates a ‘buy one give one’ model for lunches,
which has allowed them to provide more than 14,000 lunches
over the past 10 weeks to children in South
Auckland.
PledgeMe CEO Anna Guenther said it was
great to see Eat My Lunch reaching out to its crowd so they
can keep up with demand.
“Eat My Lunch’s
massive growth has shown they have an awesome crowd of
people behind them supporting the important work they are
doing,” Ms Guenther said.
“PledgeMe is proud to
host a campaign that is looking to use its crowd to bring
about positive change for Kiwi kids.
“Eat My
Lunch have really come to the party with the rewards
they’re offering people who pledge and they’ve got some
big names backing them. We’re looking forward to a hugely
successful campaign which will mean more and more Kiwi kids
have full stomachs when they go to
school.”
