SCHOOL NUTRITION NEWSLETTER
message from the director
You bring more than food to the table. Just by reading this newsletter, you can see all the "value added" services we provide to our students, schools and community. I'm especially proud of our work using Donation Tables. Glynnas Jones from New Creation Men's Shelter reminded me this week how grateful she is for the food we rescue. She packs meals to go for her homeless clients who have nothing. How good does it feel knowing you kept food out of the trash and into the less fortunate hands of the hungry? In our business, we wear many hats. Enjoy the video below from the School Nutrition Association that recognizes this. You and the services you provide are valuable and I want you to be confident in your worth. Get involved with your school so they can see all you do and just how much you contribute! Step out past the serving line "boundaries" to be seen and heard in order to earn a seat at the table.
With gratitude,
Kathy
