Pack Your Mom's Lunch Day

Pack Your Mom’s Lunch Day, observed annually on November 15, encourages people to prepare a packed meal for their mother as a simple way to show appreciation. Instead of receiving a lunch prepared by Mom, the idea is to return the favor and make her day a little easier.

The holiday is said to have been created by Lola’s Diner in 2011 to recognize the often-unnoticed work mothers do for their families. A favorite sandwich, some fresh fruit, or a sweet treat can turn an ordinary lunch into a thoughtful gesture. A handwritten note can make it even more personal.

How to Observe Pack Your Mom's Lunch Day

Celebrate by preparing your mom’s lunch with foods she enjoys. Pack a favorite sandwich, fruit, or treat, and include a note expressing your gratitude. If you live apart, prepare similar meals and share them during a virtual lunch. Consider making this thoughtful gesture more than a one-day event by packing her lunch again in the future.
