This meal delivery service for kids is designed to introduce children to healthier eating habits through healthy lunchboxes. While grownups are turning to lunch delivery services out of convenience, this option is geared towards a younger demographic in an effort to fight childhood obesity. Tuckrbox also benefits parents, as they make it easy to provide healthy lunchboxes for their offspring.
The award-winning startup uses an app to enable simple scheduling for kid-designed and parent-approved lunches. Following a farm to table model, the kid-created meals are delivered to their door. Sourced from local farms, the meals are delivered to homes, however, not schools.
Tuckrbox is currently in the throws of a crowdfunding mission on Indiegogo, and is not currently available to the public.
