How it works
At L8TERS, our meals are prepared and packaged locally by our trusted culinary partners, ensuring freshness and quality. Our partners are comprised of local restaurants and caterers who have curated nutritious kid friendly meal options just for our program. Before each week enrolled parents visit our website to select the meals for the upcoming week. Once prepared, the meals are delivered directly to participating schools and daycares each in our leak-resistant containers. Upon arrival, enrolled students receive their meals at the start of each school week. Once the meals arrive home with each child, they are ready to be stored in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. Meal options are created to be heated in a microwave or air-fryer and still maintain our highest quality,

plans
We offer plans for most budgets,
our monthly plans offer more savings!
At L8TERS, we are committed to ensuring that all families have access to nutritious meals, regardless of their financial circumstances. As part of our future plans, we intend to work with the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) program to make our meal program more accessible to low-income families. By accepting EBT payments, we aim to provide an additional payment option for families who rely on government assistance to purchase food. This initiative aligns with our mission to be a helping hand to parents and support the well-being of children in our community. We believe that by expanding our payment options to include EBT, we can further reduce barriers to healthy eating and make a positive impact on the lives of families in need.

The Mood
The Impact of Diet on Children's Behavior and Moods Numerous studies have shown a strong connection between diet, children's behavior and moods. Diets high in processed, fast, and sugary foods have been linked to a range of negative effects on children's physical and mental well-being. 1. Sugar and Hyperactivity: Excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks can lead to spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. This results in hyperactivity, irritability, and difficulty concentrating in children. These fluctuations can also impact mood stability, leading to mood swings and irritability. 2. Processed Foods and Behavioral Issues: Processed foods, often high in artificial additives, preservatives, and refined ingredients, have been associated with an increased risk of behavioral issues in children. Additives like artificial colors and flavors have been linked to hyperactivity and attention problems in some children. 3. Fast Food and Mental Health: Regular consumption of fast food, which is typically high in unhealthy fats, sodium, and refined carbohydrates, has been linked to poor mental health outcomes in children. Studies suggest that diets rich in fast food are associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders in children and adolescents. 4. Nutrient Deficiencies and Cognitive Function: Diets lacking in essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, can impair cognitive function and hinder overall brain development in children. Nutrient deficiencies have been linked to issues with memory, concentration, and learning ability. Why L8TERS Meals Are a Better Alternative: At L8TERS, we prioritize the health and well-being of children. We offer nutritious and balanced meals made from wholesome ingredients. Our meals are free from artificial additives, preservatives, and excessive sugars, providing children with the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth and development. By choosing L8TERS meals over processed, fast, and sugary foods, parents can help support their children's physical health, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. Our meals are designed to nourish both body and mind, promoting better behavior, improved mood stability, and enhanced overall health in children.

L8TERS Mission!!!
At L8TERS, our mission is to make healthy eating convenient and accessible for busy families while promoting the well-being of children in our community. We believe that every child deserves access to nutritious meals that support their growth and development.
That's why we partner with local schools and daycares to offer our after-school meal program, providing freshly prepared meals directly to participating locations for easy pickup by enrolled students. By collaborating with trusted restaurants & caterers in our community, we ensure that our meals reach the families who need them most, while also fostering stronger connections and promoting the health and happiness of children in our area.
Together, we're making a positive impact on the lives of families and helping to shape a healthier future for our community.
Food 4 Thought
At L8TERS, we believe that healthy eating habits start early in life. In today's fast-paced world, many children are already accustomed to poor eating habits, fueled by highly processed foods, excessive sugar consumption, and fast food indulgences. Our mission is to break this cycle by providing delicious meals that mirror the foods kids already love, but made from much healthier ingredients. Our program is more than just replacing a couple of meals; it's about conditioning children to make healthier choices by offering nutritious alternatives to low-nutrition, mass-produced foods. For example, instead of typical supermarket chicken nuggets loaded with preservatives, we prepare ours from freshly ground chicken, shredded veggies, and fillers like cornbread and sweet potato. While some meal options may be unfamiliar at first, our goal is to gradually change children's eating habits over the course of the program, setting them on the path to a lifetime of healthy eating.
School Year Membership
Our plan is to offer full school year memberships for the upcoming 2024 school year starting in September. Members who enroll in our full-School Year program enjoy special benefits like: Exclusive offers, weekly surprises with meals, reduced meal prices, discounts on our site store, and much more....
Nix the drive-thru
for a
"NEW-tritional" Break-thru

In contrast, L8TERS provides freshly prepared meals made with quality ingredients, balanced nutrition, and kid-friendly flavors.
Our meals are designed to fuel children's bodies and minds, supporting their growth and development without compromising on taste or convenience. With L8TERS, parents can feel good about providing their children with wholesome, nutritious meals that are as convenient as they are delicious, making it the smarter and healthier choice for busy families on the go.
