Changes In Lunch Program

Hopefully you received this e-mail already. I thought I republished it on this blog, but I guess I did not.

Dear Trillium Families,

We have been working hard this year to get an amazing lunch program that serves hot, healthy food and pays for itself. Beth and Elizabeth have been dedicated and have work so hard. The trick is with the amount of reporting and compliance involved with being a National School Lunch Program with federal guidelines there is an incredible amount of labor that is required for the program. Try as hard as we have, we have not found a way to make it economically viable at this time.

We do believe in providing healthy lunch so after much number crunching and brainstorming we have come up with a option we feel will meet Trillium's needs. We will no longer be participating in the National School Lunch Program. We will have a morning snack and lunch to those who need it. It won't be fancy, but it will be FREE! It sounds crazy, but it actually will cost Trillium less money to offer a simple free lunch choice that requires minimal preparation and no administration. The preparation will be done by volunteers (let us know if you are interested in helping!) with the free Dave's Killer Bread we get on weekly basis.

If you are in need of a breakfast - think granola bar or a bagel and a piece of fruit in the morning. Or a PB&J, milk, and a piece of fruit for lunch there will be food available. Breakfast will be served Monday-Friday and Lunch will be served Monday-Thursday. We won't be charging for these options, however donations will be accepted to keep the food cost down. These changes will start on Monday, April 25th.

Thank you for your understanding-
Genevieve
