Wanting to help change the scene for healthy school lunches, mom of three and now new entreprenuer, Gaby Wilday started her own way of changing school lunches.

With a startup company called, No Fuss Lunch, Wilday works with schools to offer up fresh and healthier options like organic salads and whole wheat made bread.

After Wilday’s daughter came home from school with expired raisins, which were considered a “fruit” she was inspired to create healthier lunches that included fresh organic fruits and vegetables for her daughter and her 7 friends kids.

The lunches cost more, as they are made with no white ingredients and organic fruits and vegetables, but are convenient for families who don’t have time to make lunches in the morning, and allows parents and kids to go online and pre-order lunches.

The company has grown over the last three years from 1 school to 38 schools throughout New Jersey, creating over 2,000 school lunches.

Other moms have started to work with the company just from hearing their kids say they love the food.

The principle at one of the schools explained in a local news video that the quality of the food has impacted their performance at school.

Teaching children healthy food at a young age, helps them make healthier choices for the rest of their lives, explained Wilday.
