Meet the Mom
I’m Sofia Blum, a mom and founder of Lunchies, on a mission to fix our country’s broken school lunch system.
After a decade as a journalist, a near-death accident that led to chronic pain — and taught me the healing power of food — along with the birth of my daughter, inspired me to pursue culinary arts and childhood nutrition.
What began as making nutrient-dense meals at home has grown into Lunchies, delivering fresh, healthy, chef-crafted meals directly to schools to help kids eat better every day.
Meet Chef Angel Sanchez
James Beard Award semifinalist (2018 & 2019) Executive Chef, Rosa Wine Lounge, NYC Affiliated with ChefScape, a culinary incubator supporting innovative food entrepreneurs. Expert in nutrition-focused menus for schools and communities.
Toddler Tested & Approved
Menu designed by a mom who spent years perfecting every recipe with feedback from the most honest critics — toddlers. Every meal is nutrient-dense, made with integrity, and loved by kids.
"I would never feed a child a meal that I wouldn’t feed my own daughter."
— Sofia, Founder & CEO
