Thank you!
Over the 2017-2018 school year we served an astonishing 22,641 meals and 22% of these were subsidized. We introduced a monthly salad bar, continued to support local vendors and worked hard to reduce waste through reusable dishes, composting and feeding our food scraps to a family of pigs in Royston. Special thanks to our Lunch Coordinator, Thea Cockerton, for making this all happen, and to our kitchen volunteers who contributed over 200 hours this year.
A heartfelt thank you to School District #71 (Comox Valley), Hinterland Studio, Cumberland Dental Centre, the Cumberland Legion, the Rotary Club of Cumberland Centennial, the Province of BC and the Comox Valley Community Foundation for their contributions to this program; the BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program for bi-monthly deliveries of fresh fruit, vegetables and milk; Seeds Food Market for local ordering, and our local food vendors for providing delicious, low cost meals throughout the school year- Plates Eatery & Catering Company, Custom Gourmet Catering, Cumberland Village Bakery, Riders Pizza, Quality Foods, Scoops & Slices and Kama Bento.
