Feed All Kids Well

We believe that all children, regardless of means, should have access to healthy meals. That's why we support No Kid Hungry. They are working to end childhood hunger by connecting children in need to programs like school breakfast and summer meals.

No Kid Hungry

Our Story

Our mission is to help busy parents feed their kids well. Parents have so much on their plates these days. It is impossible to keep up with everything. I know what it feels like to scramble to pack a lunch before running out the door. I know what it feels like to fall into the habit of packing the same thing every day because you don't have the mental space to do any better. I know what it feels like to struggle with picky eaters. Desperate for change, I created Lunch Unpacked to get back on track with exposing my kids to a wide variety of wholesome foods and to say goodbye to the mental burden of meal planning. With the help of a nutritionist and trained chef, we've put together a lunch packing solution that will help you make healthy and delicious lunches without a crazy-level of effort.

Lauren McMahon, Founder

After spending more than a decade climbing the corporate ladder, balancing the demands of work and family stopped Lauren in her tracks. She left the corporate world to focus on building a more balanced and fulfilling life. Looking at the demands she was facing as a parent, Lauren kept coming back to the dilemma of what to feed her kids each day. By launching Lunch Unpacked, Lauren wants to make preparing healthy lunches a fast and convenient part of every family's routine.
