The Eat a Rainbow Foundation helps vulnerable families nourish their loved ones by producing and donating a range of health pre-made meals. Meals are packed with nutritious ingredients, prepared by professionally trained chefs, and approved by nutritionists. Meals are donated to families with hospitalized children and families requiring emergency housing. It is hoped that the ready- made nutritious meals help in some small way to alleviate the challenges they face. To provide free meal packages, Eat a Rainbow Foundation relies on donations from the community. Your donation will help nourish a family who could do with your act of kindness.
