Food for thought on what’s trending in school meal programs across the country
What a radically changed U.S., in a matter of a few weeks. A bright spot in and for our industry – we are helping feed school children. The need is great, and the team at E S Foods along with our plants, vendors, and partners, are working hard to maximize our ability to reach more students.
To help address topics in school meal operations that are relevant today in the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic, School Nutrition magazine has produced the first of a series of digital-exclusive supplements sent via e-blast this week . . .We are proud to sponsor the report “The Intersection of Health, Duty and Compassion” which you can read on your device or print out a hard copy.
During the coronavirus pandemic we have seen so many inspiring stories of heroes. From the health care workers on the front lines to police officers, grocery workers, bus drivers, and those in our own foodservice industry, the human spirit is providing us all us with so much hope. I wanted to share with you this week’s cover story from Time magazine,
Our hearts may ache with the unprecedented strife our fellow citizens are experiencing, but we should be so proud with how our industry and compatible entities are responding. . . .We continue 24/7 to strive and help feed more children across our great country.
We all are experiencing the most daunting challenge one could imagine. Our first priority is the health and well-being of our loved ones.
ES Foods is committed to helping feed more children and minimally make a difference in the needed nourishment of these children nationwide.
Perhaps you’ve seen or heard the phrase, “Not All Heroes Wear Capes . . . Some Wear Aprons”. This couldn’t be more relevant in school foodservice than during this COVID-19 pandemic as so many groups are working together to ensure that our nation’s school children are able to receive meals while schools are closed. Everyone is doing their part – schools, foodservice directors, cafeteria staff, foodservice providers, volunteers, etc. – to provide millions of emergency meals on a daily basis.
