Thank you Student Lunchbox! I have been able to get some much needed nourishment. I am a struggling student and this organization makes a difference!Whitney
I am so grateful for the fresh produce provided and glad that there are programs like this to support the community. Thank you to the donors!
It’s just amazing to be able to save fruits and vegetables from being thrown away and giving them a second chance to be made into wonderful dishes to fill tummies! This is an awesome non-profit!
The produce has been great and my family enjoys it every time I am able to pick up some. Thanks to donors for helping the public.
Grateful to be a beneficiary of the kindness and food. Picking up fresh fruit and vegetables on a regular basis has been a blessing to our family. We eat more healthily. Thank you.
I love what this organization stands for! Sustainability for the earth and food justice for all! I’ve had such at wonderful and productive time working with the founder, Karl, as well as the volunteers. The amount of hard labor that goes into this type of work on a daily basis to keep students securely fed and others in community is exceptional. SLB has made a difference to my own self perception through all they’ve given to me; leadership opportunities, volunteer opportunities, mentorship, and great friendship. SLB has my back! I truly truly appreciate this program. Thank you
Great non profit which has been a big help to our community. They help service the basic needs of our community by providing essential foods and groceries across many college campuses. Always a pleasure working with them.
Amazing program that helps our students get healthy food every week! Its so amazing to have them and we are so grateful
I know Student LunchBox from Cal State LA, where they provided food to students during this summer quarter. I personally am very grateful to be utilizing their services that helped me save money in my groceries. The most important part is that they extend their services to the regular pantry every week via weekly deliveries, so it’s a huge help to all of us ❤️
Student Lunchbox has been such a great partner for us and our students. I can honestly say I have felt a lot of tension ease from our students knowing that they will be able to get healthy food options while attending our program, which prior to our partnership was somewhat of a financial burden for many of the students we serve. Not only has the partnership helped our students physically, but their mental health has also improved by removing the anxiety felt around being able to afford food on a weekly basis. We are so very grateful for SLB!
What an incredible non profit that helps supports students and their families with nutritious, healthy food, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables, which can be challenging to access with economic and financial hardship. Having food security is a small step that can be life changing to these families, so that they can focus on improving their lives, obtaining their degrees, and being successful. So grateful to have this in our community! Fantastic work helping our future generations get a head start!
This is such an incredible initiative that has helped so very many people I know, and myself included! The amount of food saved is outstanding and the nutrition provided to our diets and the community health is the benefit in addition to ensuring all the work and production time and effort that has gone into growing harvesting transporting etc was not in vein
This organization is so amazing. It helps so many families and students receive groceries! The absolute best.
I’ve had the pleasure of helping Student Lunchbox pass out groceries at LA Pierce College. Students are so appreciative to have the SLB community at our campus. So many of our students that need support financially have come to our events consistently and it’s been awesome to see them get excited to this amazing resource.
I have the pleasure of volunteering at CSULA Food Pantry who is partnered with SLB to provide college students fresh perishable and nonperishable food items. I am grateful for their donations that continue to allow CSULA Food Pantry to provide its students with healthy food choices. Thank you SLB for your continued support to decrease food insecurity in our campus!
Karlen is the best he is very helpful! I'm a College Corps Fellow here at the Cal State LA Campus and its always awesome to work with the Student Lunch Box Team. The selection of food he brings is very good and aways meets the Myplate criteria of food that is supplied.
Student Lunch Box does an amazing job servicing colleges and community areas to provide fresh produce and dry goods. They are both supportive and helpful!
Thank you for all that you do. Because of Student Lunchbox, I have access to healthier food items such as cucumber, apples, tomatoes, spinach, eggs, and so on. Staff are really nice too.
I’ve had the pleasure to work with Karl at LAVC. Student LunchBox has provided an immense amount of food to different colleges to support students that are facing food insecurity. They deliver fresh produce and non-perishable items on a weekly basis.
A really incredible organization. I take walks on Pierce college and once saw their program on campus. They invited me to collect food if I needed. Very fresh and just nice people.
I had a joyful experience volunteering for Student LunchBox at Ling Beach Community College. It’s a very fun and engaging experience. The best part while you have fun you serve hundreds of students with fresh produce.
I started volunteering at SLB my first year at Pierce College. I had one of the best experiences working alongside the CEO of SLB. It made me so happy seeing how much students benefited from this nonprofit organization. Their grateful appreciation made us more encouraged to continue working decidedly to support as much as we could. Seeing the volunteers alongside me helping and enjoying what we do made our Tuesdays fun and memorable. I look forward to having SLB on our campus and can not wait for Fall semester to get back to what I love doin the most!
I go to Pierce College and I get to use this program. It is very helpful, at times my food bill can go over a $100 a week. With Student LunchBox I save a lot of money. They even have milk and meat options that we all get. The best part it’s all free for everyone who cannot afford it.
Student LunchBox is really making a difference. “My Ranch Market” bakery has donated over 700 loaves of breads so far. We are very excited to continue donating to this organization knowing we are directly helping our future through Student LunchBox and their leadership efforts. A true charity with a true mission!
Student lunchbox is a fantastic organization assisting food insecure college students with meals and basic essentials. I volunteer at the Encino farmers market, gleaning donated produce from generous farmers, SLB collects and distributes to local colleges. Karlen’s dedication and compassion is truly motivating!
Student LunchBox is a great organization. I received emergency food boxes from my school distributed by Student Lunchbox and it was really good. I look forward to going back to school this fall so I can get more since it helps to save money a lot.

Student Lunchbox is incredible! They are so helpful and have truly made an impact at Pierce College by donating TONS of amazing food to our basic needs program for hundreds of students per week! They are flexible, passionate, generous, and overall amazing to work with! Karlen always goes above and beyond to ensure we have everything we need to meet the needs of our students. Without them, we would not be able to meet our goals and help students like we have this past semester! We look forward to strengthening our partnership in the coming semesters! Thank you Student Lunchbox for everything you do!!
The founder of Student Lunch Box is so passionate and his vision is serving our community in such an important way. As a recent grad, I’ve seen the struggle first hand that students face meeting basic needs. This non profit is doing amazing work!
I have known the founder of this non-profit for several years and I am so elated he has been able to make his passion for helping others blossom. Our students are our future and this organization is doing everything it can to ensure our future is fed well today. The more we can support Student Lunchbox, the more students will be able to grow and develop!
As a student who struggled to make ends meet and have had my share of skipped meals, Student Lunchbox is a great organization helping hungry students. Thanks for your hard work!
I volunteer with Food Forward, which partners with Student LunchBox to provide fresh produce that has been gleaned from Farmers market donors. Working with Karlen from SLB each week has been inspiring! SLB consistently prioritizes the needs of the student communities which it serves with diligence, passion, kindness, conscientiousness, and commitment. I enjoy supporting their mission to provide for those experiencing food insecurity.
Student Lunchbox Inc is aiming to help as many students as they can . They are giving students one less thing to worry about .
This organization was built from ground up by an individual who truly believes that we have a major problem, that is food insecurity among thousands of college students. Karl built LunchBox and we help him fulfill his vision! That’s the least we can do!
I admire and grateful ,that someone could listen and has time to help others. Student Lunch Box is a long needed charity, and its finally here !!!
Student LunchBox is a great service to have in our communities that caters to college students who face food insecurities. The program has helped keep college food pantries filled with a variety of fresh produce, bringing these students the opportunity to attain a balanced diet.
I am currently volunteering with Student Lunchbox as a Social Media Manager, and I can say for sure it's a wonderful organisation making a deep impact in the city. People in the organization are making change happen in real ways - SLB has brought together so many donors, students and resources together over the course of this year. Our organisation has taken concrete and meaningful steps to make food available to community college students all across Los Angeles. I am super grateful to be a part of this team ! It's been a great learning experience !
One of the best nonprofits I am so proud to be a part of! The change that we have been able to make it in the lives of students has been immensely positive. I am so proud of Student lunchbox.
Student lunchbox rocks! Karl is an excellent leader who is motivated to help and will do great things with the organization
I volunteer with SLB during their food drive to Long Beach University and one thing I can tell everyone who is reading this, is that no one realizes the issue this organizations solves. After donating over 60 boxes and foods and collecting 60 empty boxes next week, tells you how much we all need to be involved in acts like this.
