LunchLAB shows kids how to grow and prepare food. When in-class instruction was suspended, the partners — Fresh Roots Urban Farm Society, Growing Chefs!, Vancouver school board, and Ono Vancouver chef TJ Conwi — quickly pivoted to provide more than 5,500 meals a week to hundreds of families.

As COVID-19 began to impact restaurants and not-for-profit organizations, Ono turned restaurant and restaurant supplier’s food stocks into meals for laid off hospitality workers. Then, through the City of Vancouver’s COVID Emergency Operations Centre, Ono now supplies 2,200 meals a week to: Health Initiatives for Men,  Aboriginal Mothers Centre Society, Watari Counselling and Support Service Society, A Loving Spoonful, YWCA Crabtree Corner.
