Over 750,000 Free Meals Provided ⸻
Who we are...
In 2018, in response to Glasgow’s shocking child poverty rates, Launch Foods foundation, a Scottish Charity was set up with the sole purpose of tackling child food poverty in Glasgow.
In 2022 Launch Coffee opened in the heart of Glasgow’s business district, a community interest company, where 100% of all profits go to ensuring the operations of Launch Foods’ foundation keep moving… and in 2024 Launch Coffee no. 2 situated in the beautiful Princes Square on Buchanan Street opened its doors, allowing us to further continue our efforts in feeding Glasgow’s kids.
Our Mission...
The detrimental effects of child poverty are a major cause for concern. Poverty not only impacts physical and mental health but the educational and social development of the kids.
Launch Foods wants to help!
We focus on maximising food surplus by feeding kids in our communities with free, hot, nutritious food after their school day and during holidays.
Since our inception six years ago, we’ve provided in excess of 750,000 free meals and we want to do more.
We don’t believe any child in Scotland should be going hungry in 2025. While we can’t solve Scotland’s child poverty problem alone, we want to bring greater attention to this complex issue and give hope and inspiration to young people in need that a brighter future is possible.
In a nutshell, we are just a bunch of likeminded folks who care about hungry kids! Please use the links to learn more and see how you could get involved.
