Support Raphaeli's Mealtime Magic
WHOLESOME & DELICIOUS, OUR SCHOOL breakfasts & LUNCHES can PROVIDE THE ENERGY CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN
How will we use your donation?
Traditionally Raphaeli has always served fresh, healthy warm meals to Kindergarten and Playgroup children and we continue to do so.
There are however children across all classes who arrive at school hungry and in need of sustenance to benefit from and thrive in their school learning. We therefore have started a Breakfast Club for those children who will benefit from a bowl of nourishing oats before schools starts.
Children who stay after school and do not have sufficient food with them are then also provided with a bowl of oats to tide them over until the bus transport or parent transport arrives. Twice a day, therefore, we are providing nourishment free of charge to children in need. We would love to expand the after school menu to include healthy soups and stews and this will be possible with your donations.
To increase the sustainability of Mealtime Magic, we have planted an organic Kitchen Garden, where we grow vegetables and herbs for use in the meals. The children are involved in maintaining the garden and will be able see how they derive direct benefit from their hard work.
To be able to provide delicious nutritious meals we do need to:
- expand our catering facilities
- plant more variety in our Kitchen Garden
- cover the running costs
- purchase ingredients we cannot grow
Any amount you choose to contribute will be immensely valued.
