about us
Mission
Our mission is to create fun candles with scents inspired by lunchtime favorites while helping pay off school lunch debts, ensuring every child has access to a nutritious meal.
Did you know that more than 30 million students in our country can't afford to pay for their school meals? The national school lunch debt is over $262 million per year! With the help of some wax and a jar, we hope to be able to change this.
Scents
Lunchline candles smell like your favorite school lunch items – Pudding Cup, Cinnamon Bun, Oatmeal Cream Pie or even Buttered Corn! Our candles come in a variety of unique lunchtime favorite scents, from fun and fruity to warm and comforting.
Our candles are made from all natural soy wax and use scents that are phthalate and paraben free. Burn them all day long to bring back the nostalgia of lunchtime.
Founder
Lunchline Candles was started by Ruby Chalupka as a way to help solve a problem. She says, "during Covid, the Austin school district made all school lunches free for everyone. It was great and everyone benefitted and it felt more equal in the lunchroom. But, a few years ago, the school district changed their policy and now everyone has to pay again. I’ve seen firsthand kids get turned away because they didn’t have money in their lunch account, and I want to do something about it. That's why I started Lunchline candles."
