Lots of parents have worked really hard to make this program a reality. We are doing menu planning, ensuring that all children with allergies are looked after, pricing and ordering, shopping, cooking, (think about cooking pasta salad for 600!!), coordinating volunteers, cleaning up, washing dishes, maintaining fridges…and so much more! And, I’m not going to lie to you…we are tired!! If we hope to carry a nutrition program of any kind next year, we need to broaden our base of volunteers. Please email Cathy at [email protected] for more information or, better yet, sign up for a day and help crank the machine that is the nutrition program.
