Lunches everyone can feel good about

Let’s face it - school lunch can be a major headache and battleground between kids, parents, and schools. That's why Packed is on a mission to provide a service that ensures everyone wins!

Schools love our full service delivery, custom offerings, and flexibility of partnering with Packed. Parents appreciate the ease of a set-it-and-forget-it subscription model, knowing their children are fed scratch-made, wholesome, and balanced meals. Whether picky or adventurous, kids are thrilled to select their own personalized lunch combination from a menu of kid-tested tasty options with the thrill of enjoying a meal packed especially for them.

Packed's Guiding Principles

  • Convenient

    No hectic prep, no lunchbox to bring back and forth, no lost freezer packs, and no dishes! Enjoy the peace of mind of delivery direct to your student without the hassle of playing chef or managing a daily and costly order schedule.

  • Wholesome

    Packed lunches are made fresh with wholesome ingredients to provide a balanced and appealing meal filled with veggies, fruits, proteins, and more to fuel students through their busy days.

  • Tasty

    Packed lunches are taste tested by kids, for kids. From picky to adventurous eaters, including a multitude of dietary needs, our menu has options for everyone to enjoy.

  • Energizing

    It's no secret that a balanced meal is energizing to both the body and the mind. Eating a Packed lunch ensures students have what they need to tackle their busy days. We strive to feed both their stomachs and their brains!

  • Personalized

    Each Packed lunch is built with one entree and two sides. Mixing and matching items is great for students who want to get involved in their food choices and find combinations they love! After they’ve designed their own lunch, it’s prepared and packaged specifically for each child to unwrap.
