Happy National No One Eats Alone Day™! On an early Friday in February, lunchrooms across America have accepted the mission started this day.
No One Eats Alone™ is a positive prevention initiative from nonprofit Beyond Differences™ aimed at creating a lunchtime of inclusion.
Organized by students for students, middle schools across the nation look beyond differences and find ways to start conversations at lunchtime – with everyone. No one eats alone.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Join the movement. If your school doesn’t participate, encourage them to start. Create an inclusive lunchroom at your school and encourage each other to engage in positive conversations.
Sometimes it’s hard to break the ice.
National Day Calendar® has provided some conversation starters perfect for lunchtime. So, when you see someone eating alone, you’ll have a few ways to get the conversation started.
Don’t be nervous. You can do it!
- • Start with a joke.
- • Offer a compliment.
- • Find something in common.
- • Ask for an opinion about an assignment.
- • Mention a movie you saw this weekend.
- • Tell a funny story about yourself.
- • Talk about the menu – especially your favorite foods.
- • Bring a card game to play.

National No One Eats Alone Day was piloted in 2012 by Beyond Differences™ in just a handful of schools in Northern California. Now, more than two thousand schools in all fifty states participate in National No One Eats Alone Day™, impacting more than one million students!
