While grownups are turning to [lunch delivery services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-meal-delivery-service) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-friendly-recipe) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Kid-designed Meal Delivery:** There is an opportunity for meal delivery services to offer customizable and healthy lunch options for children to combat childhood obesity. - **Farm-to-table for Kids:** Delivery services can benefit local farmers by incorporating their produce in healthy meals for children. - **App-based Meal Planning for Parents:** Technology can be utilized to simplify the process of scheduling and ordering healthy meals for children, which can appeal to busy parents. ### Who This Affects Most - **Meal Delivery Services:** Kid-focused meal delivery can be a new service line for companies that already deliver meals to adults. - **Agriculture & Local Farms:** Local farms can benefit from partnering with healthy food-focused delivery services to sell their produce directly to consumers. - **Technology Providers:** Companies that offer meal planning and scheduling platforms can create apps for meal delivery services targeting parents of young children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snackable Back-to-School Lunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchers.md) - [Veggie-First Children's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-gourmets.md) - [Family-Friendly Recipe Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellofresh-family.md) - [Children-Targeted Butter Chicken Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-chicken-plate.md) - [Child Meal Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picky-eaters.md) - [Contactless Lunch Delivery Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchbox-delivery-robot.md) - [On-Demand Organic Kids Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erewhon-kids-meal.md) - [Made-to-Order Baby Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timios.md) - [Bento-Inspired School Lunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentoinspired-school-lunches.md)
