Nutrition Program


We have all been working diligently to balance both the budget and our client’s needs.  From surveys it is very clear that hot meals are preferred.  Although it will put us in the red we are going to increase the number of hot meals so that at least 1 hot meal is provided every week. 

Week of Nov. 9th – 1 hot meal, 4 shelf stable (as already planned)

Then we change the plan.

Week of Nov. 16 – 1 hot meal, 1 frozen meal, 3 shelf stable. From this point forward, we will be providing 3 shelf stable per week until notified otherwise.

Week of Nov. 23rd – 2 hot meals, 3 shelf stable THIS WILL REQUIRE DELIVERY ON TWO DAYS. We need to make sure we have staff to do so.

Week of Nov. 30th – 1 hot meal, 1 frozen meal, 3 shelf stable

Week of Dec. 7th – 2 hot meals, 3 shelf stable. AGAIN WILL REQUIRE DELIVERY ON TWO DAYS (every other week).

Week of Dec. 14th – 1 hot meal, 1 frozen meals, 3 shelf stable

Week of Dec. 21st – 2 hot meals, 3 shelf stable. TWO DELIVERY DAYS

Week of Dec. 28th – 1 hot , 1 frozen, 3 shelf stable

 

Please start to think about what is needed to be able to deliver on two days again starting Thanksgiving week!  We will be having another group phone call with the team before this time.  In the meantime, everyone respond with any concerns. If none (other than figuring out how to make 2 weekly deliveries) we can send this schedule to all nutrition staff members.

 

Thank you everyone!
