About Us
The Lunch Moms Catering company was created in 2004 by two local moms who realized that many parents in Vernon, British Columbia were struggling to put together a nutritious and tasty school lunch for their child. Through hard work, many meetings and a lot of planning, their dream has become a successful reality with schools in both Vernon and Armstrong being served and catering services for special events also available.
The Lunch Moms’ mission is simple – to provide fresh, healthy, balanced lunches on a daily basis to elementary school children. They believe that if kids start eating healthy balanced meals from the beginning, the habit will likely continue throughout their lifetime. That’s why they work diligently to provide lots of flavourful yet healthy options that your child will love!
Since the beginning The Lunch Moms have believed in supporting the community and giving back. In addition to helping reduce the stress for parents trying to put together healthy lunches that their kids will actually eat every school day, The Lunch Moms donate 50 cents from every order to the participating school’s PAC programs. As well, with the company’s growth the The Lunch Moms provides also provides employment opportunities within the community.
For the 2016/17 school year, The Lunch Moms donated the following to each respective school:
- Armstrong Elementary $1100
- Beairsto Elementary $2500
- BX Elementary $1016
- Coldstream Elementary $1200
- Harwood Elementary $1050
- Kidston Elementary $830
- Okanagan Landing Elementary $1048.50
Getting started is easy if The Lunch Moms’ services are not currently available at your school. Pick a date your school would like to start. Contact Us and we will provide all of the necessary information. All inquiries should be directed to the Lunch Moms and not the participating school.
Once the participating school has given approval, The Lunch Moms do all the work!
- An information centre is set up to hold menus, brochures and order forms which we monitor.
- We deal with the parents directly for lunch ordering and payment.
- Lunches are individually wrapped, labeled and delivered by The Lunch Moms in time for lunch.
- A portion of the profits are donated back to each participating school.
