At Capspace, we understand the importance of making a meaningful difference in our community. And we recognise that as a unified team we have the skills, resources, networks, and knowledge to help us achieve that.

Our commitment to serving and creating opportunities that help our community forms an integral part of our DNA.

Ways we are making a difference and helping our community:

• We co-founded the Most Important Meal project with a mission: to ensure every child has access to nutritious food at school, setting the foundations for a positive start to the day.
• We have partnered with Eat Up Australia to provide fresh fruit to Sydney schools as their official supplier.
• Our partnership with author and advocate, Melanie Jai, is focussed on empowering and supporting children facing challenging circumstances, while equipping them with the knowledge to create a more safe and secure environment.
• Through our principal sponsorship with Abbotsford Juniors Football Club, our goal is to encourage well-being and physical activity, fostering an environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Most Important Meal

Most Important Meal was founded by Capspace and Living Hope Missions with the goal of ensuring that every child has access to healthy food at school.

Foodbank research shows that 1 in 5 children in Australia experience food insecurity. 

The reality for many kids is that they are starting the school day on an empty stomach.

Breakfast is the fuel young minds need to improve focus and learning, feel energised for the day ahead, and provide the nutritional needs to grow and develop.

That’s why we want to make sure that every child has access to the most important meal of the day, breakfast. 

"It's not good enough that any child goes without food, let alone many children. When I joined the Living Hope Missions team on a school food delivery run, I saw first-hand the number of children going to school every day, hungry. The reality is that they can't change their circumstances alone and schools don't have enough resources to meet demand. It opened my eyes to what was happening on our doorstep, and I knew we needed to get involved. Our mission with the Most Important Meal project is to provide kids with nutritious, healthy, and fresh breakfasts that aid in their growth, development, and learning." - Julio Labraga, Co-founder and Director, Capspace.

Our promise

We offer full transparency and accountability in how funds received are being used. 

All monetary donations 100% support the purchase of food for school children. 

Any supplementary expenses such as overheads, insurance, and operational costs for vehicles are covered separately. Organisations and individuals that support this side of the project are aware that they are directly contributing to these specific administrative costs.

How you can help

With the help of our partner and volunteer network, we are able to make regular deliveries of food and other essential items to schools within Sydney. 

We have big goals though. We want to continue expanding our support network to transform even more young lives and end food insecurity.

Capspace and Eat Up Australia team up to combat food insecurity

Capspace partners with Eat Up Australia as official fruit supplier for Sydney schools.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to tackling food insecurity among school children by ensuring they have access to nutritious food.

Eat Up is an Australian charity that provides free lunches to school children in need.

Since 2013, when Lyndon Galea founded Eat Up, the organisation has delivered close to 4 million lunches to school children who would otherwise go without. Each week, with the help of partners and volunteers, Eat Up prepares and delivers over 30,000 lunches to over 900 schools nationwide.

Capspace is proud to support Eat Up’s 2025 expansion plans. In Sydney, Eat Up’s school program will grow to assist approximately 200 schools by Term 1 of 2025. Capspace will contribute around 30,000 pieces of fruit each term, going directly to school children who need them most. 

Our mission

At Capspace, we believe that no child’s potential should be limited by hunger. By co-founding Most Important Meal and through collaborations with impactful organisations like Eat Up, we are on a mission to end food insecurity.

Together, we strive to ensure every child has the nourishment they need to grow, thrive, and succeed, creating meaningful and sustainable change in the community.
