September Newsletter

In Foodservice we focused on running our Meet Up & Eat Up program as well as preparing for a summer audit and preparing for the coming school year. We fed children in the community for free this summer and we were able to spend more time directly connecting with each and every student that visited us for a meal. We also participated in the Learning Fair where we fed the children there for free as well. It was so fulfilling to be able to give the children a hot meal as they played and learned at all the different Learning Fair stations. We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and served them with a smile. We also participated in the Jackson Pork-A-Palooza where we served homemade mango pulled pork with a tropical rum glaze and traditional mac & cheese and competed against others in the food industry.

In Foodservice we already started the year out right, by having our annual back to school caterings for the Northwest staff. We also focused on preparing for the POS lines at High School. Every student now uses their student ID number to receive a hot and delicious meal. This month our promotions were Lucky Tray Day, where the students who picked a lucky tray received a prize at lunchtime, and Better Breakfast Month where we featured a special brunch menu.
