Green Boxes with Project 35

A new healthy food option exclusively for children will launch in the Home Park refreshment kiosks from this weekend, doing some good for Project 35 along the way.

The Green Box – a set lunch box package which includes a nutritious sandwich, a bag of crisps, a juice drink and some fresh fruit – will be available from food and beverage points around the stadium at the cost of £5.

As part of the Green Box scheme, 50 lunch boxes will be made available at every home match for the rest of the season to supporters who could use some help with food.

In-keeping with the spirit of Project 35, sandwich providers Tamar Fresh will kindly donate the sandwiches for the free Green Boxes, while the club will donate the rest of the items for the lunch packs. Any spare produce from the packs will be donated for distribution through our Project 35 food networks, which has run all season in partnership with the Argyle Community Trust and Ginsters, and features as our Front of Shirt logo this season.

This weekend, Argyle mascot Pilgrim Pete will be distributing the 50 free boxes around the stadium to raise awareness of the Green Box, and from the home fixture against Forest Green Rovers on 18 March onwards, specific kiosks will be identified and publicised for the 50 food boxes to be collected from.

In the spirit of Project 35, we do ask people only to request a free Green Box if they truly need it.

Argyle’s Head of Venue, Christian Kent, said: “We’re excited to be launching the Green Box, which serves multiple purposes for the club.

“Firstly, it offers a nutritionally complete, affordable meal for children attending fixtures, which we know supporters have been encouraging for a while. Secondly, thanks to the generosity of Tamar Fresh, we are able to offer a package of free food to children who could really use it at the moment.

“It is very much in-line with our ethos as a community club, and ties in nicely with our Project 35 initiative, alongside the Argyle Community Trust and Ginsters.”
