HMC Capital CommunityCo. Eat Up Australia partnership
As part of HMC Capital’s CommunityCo. initiative, we have established our first major national partnership with the charity organisation Eat Up Australia, following an in-depth social impact assessment across our real estate portfolios. The assessment identified that 1 in 5 children across Australia are suffering from food insecurity, with approximately 3.7m Australian family households also experiencing this within the last 12 months.
Eat Up is dedicated to combating childhood hunger by supplying disadvantaged children with school lunches, delivering more than 25,000 lunches to schools on a weekly basis. Eat Up are not government funded, and rely heavily on donations, partnerships and volunteers to continue as Australia’s only provider of free school lunches on a national scale.
Across our real estate portfolio we have hosted two Eat Up Sandwich Making Sessions, including a workplace session where 782 sandwiches were made and redistributed across local schools to children in need. We look forward to playing our part in helping this great cause by hosting more volunteer sessions, and we hope this will contribute to less children going hungry across the country and in the areas where our assets are located.
