Our Vision and Philosophy Our company originated almost twenty-five years ago, based on the premise that everyone - at one time or another, need help with food good, wholesome, healthy food that also tastes great! Sometimes it s event or party foods that are needed, or sometimes it s a simple meal just to get nutritious food into your busy life. Our food program for schools began in 1996, based on a similar idea that busy moms and dads don t always have the time or all that s necessary to put a well-balanced lunch together every day for their children. That s where we come in. We re here every day for you and your children with hot, healthy menu choices and a robust a la carte menu that s enjoyable and available everyday to your student, or on an as needed basis. What s in it for YOU? A Happy student - for one thing! Assurance that your child can go to school each day and look forward to, and enjoy a healthy wholesome lunch or a favorite a la carte choice. All this, without the worry of any pre-planning the night before or the hectic morning rush of deciding what will be packed for lunch. Trust in knowing that we are cooking the kind of food that you would - given the necessary time to plan, and not least of all the energy to prepare it! What s in it for US? We enjoy the pleasure and opportunity to serve your children, creating happy diners and educating a generation about the importance of better eating habits. While we re at it, we d like to expose them to new food experiences so that they learn to appreciate good food - and food that s good for them. Giving children tools and knowledge to build a strong foundation about food choices empowers them to live healthier lives and makes them stronger, building long lasting bridges. Where We ve Come in the Journey Food Water Shelter the basics. We began by providing the basics and then added a little comfort. We also knew that children need to learn about making better choices earlier vs. later - pizza is not its own food group! We removed as many processed foods as possible all the while, trying to keep children interested and enjoying lunch. A fine line we walk! Our menu aligns with parent s desire to offer adventurous and healthful choices. Below, you will find some additional information regarding our service. We wish you the best school year yet!
