Lunchables Is Covering the Cost of Groceries as Part of New Rewards Program
Lunchables is offering a chance to win $10,000 for groceries and a year-long Instacart Express membership with its new Leave It To Lunchables Rewards Program. The Leave It To Lunchables Rewards Program helps moms tackle their to-do lists while giving their kids a lunch they love. As mom stocks up on her family’s favorite Lunchables varieties, she’s on her way to redeeming rewards to treat herself with perks like free coffee runs, school supplies and movie rentals. It’s a win-win for moms and kids!

“Moms are juggling more now than ever before with virtual learning, working from home and a never-ending to-do list,” says Molle Klein, associate brand manager for Lunchables. “With the new Leave It To Lunchables Rewards Program, we’re taking one thing off her plate. It’s a simple way to give kids a lunch they love and reward mom with her own prizes for all her hard work.”

Lunchables is also teaming up with Melissa Joan Hart to help support parents and get them through these demanding times. As a mom who knows a thing or two about juggling work and home life with three kids, Hart understands why moms deserve a reward for all the extra things they have on their plates right now.
