Important things to keep in mind:

 

(1) Please indicate the exact item you are bringing in the notes when you sign up. The items listed are only suggestions.

 

(2) Please make sure that your food items are at the school in plenty of time to be set out for the time frame you signed up for. Teachers will have widely varying schedules for eating based on when their conference schedules allow. Breakfast items should be delivered by 7:30 AM, lunch delivered between 10-10:30 AM and dinner items should arrive between 4-4:30 PM.  

 

(3) We have 35 staff members but please note that if you sign up to bring a meal, you don’t need to bring enough to feed every one of them. Around twelve serving sizes per volunteer is perfect! Some staff members might opt for a muffin over a cinnamon roll or a crockpot meal over a sandwich so a variety of smaller portions will lessen the amount of leftovers.

 

(4) Ideas for meals: The staff LOVES crockpot meals as they don’t have to worry about heating them up and they’re quick to serve when they have a spare moment. Prepackaged sandwiches (available in the ready to eat section of any grocery store and offered in vegan and vegetarian options) are another great idea as are sandwich platters, tortilla roll-ups, hummus plates, cold pastas, etc. Please keep in mind that nearly half of the staff leans vegetarian. If you need ideas for vegetarian meals or substitutes, please feel free to reach out to the Volunteer Coordinator, Brecia Hale. Homemade items are welcome.
