FAQs
Common questions about Consulting
What makes LunchBox Solutions different from other nutrition consulting services?
At LunchBox Solutions we’re not just another consulting service. We understand the unique challenges faced by new school nutrition directors, which is why we specifically target their needs. Our programs are not one-size-fits-all; we customize each solution to fit the specific requirements of every school district we work with. Plus, we’re proud to be a certified B Corp, embodying our commitment to making an impact beyond just our services.
What types of schools do you work with?
We work with public school districts and charter schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. LunchBox Solutions is based in Truckee, California, and serves clients nationwide.
Who is considered a “new” director? Do I have to be new to work with you?
We generally consider directors in their first three years to be new. However, all LunchBox Solutions services are available to school nutrition professionals at any point in their career.
Are your services eligible expenses for California KIT Funds (CA)?
Absolutely! Our services are eligible per the California Department of Education (CDE). Plus, we offer multi-year contracts for added convenience.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes, we’re happy to work with you or your procurement team to ensure a smooth and compliant procurement process.
Can I get a W9?
Certainly. A W9 will be included in your Sales Order for your convenience.
Do you provide liability insurance?
Yes, we hold Professional Liability Insurance for up to $1,000,000. Certificates are available upon request.
Business with a heart
Giving back is built into how we operate
We believe stronger school nutrition programs can strengthen entire communities.
That’s why LunchBox Solutions commits 1% of annual revenue to RootEd, a nonprofit working to strengthen farm-to-school education and make it easier for K-12 schools, local farmers, and small food producers to work together.
By supporting practical resources, education, and stronger connections between schools and local food systems, RootEd helps bring more nutritious, locally grown food to students while supporting the farmers and communities that make it possible.
As a Certified B Corporation, we’re accountable to more than a bottom line. We believe the mission behind the work matters just as much as the work itself.
