Our Goal is to support local Florida educational programs and communities through providing nutritious meals of the best quality for our children. We believe that good nutrition powers the mind. We assist schools, childcare centers, head start, after school and summer programs with the application and approval process for the NSLP and CCFP programs.
We also connect these programs with Florida caterers who provide Fresh Healthy Meals utilizing local foods from our communities. Our caterers and partners are locally owned, buy local foods and products, and give back to our communities. They produce menus that exceed state nutritional standards, have fresh fruits and vegetables, and allow flexibility to fit your program needs.
