No One Eats Alone Day

No One Eats Alone Day is designed for schools that want to celebrate the importance of connectedness, kindness, and belonging. Inspired by our peer-led No One Eats Alone program, this proven, no-cost initiative helps students recognize social isolation and build meaningful connections – starting in the lunchroom and lasting all year. For grades 5-8.
