FOOD/MEALS (certificates, voucher, boxes)

Providing our residents and outreach youth with nutritious meals daily is our effort to develop strong bodies and minds. Each day the residents are served three basic meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner and at times a late evening snack, placing special attention on individual youth’s diets. A menu is posted each week identifying proposed meals to be served.  At times some of the older youth will receive food certificates from local franchise like Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy’s and others as they are out seeking employment during the day. Other consumers that have an outreach connection can receive food certificates, food vouchers and food boxes at an extended supportive period of time. Food certificates, vouchers and boxes are given not only to the male population served, but to individuals and families as well. Each month the agency staff takes out a group of residents and up to 10 of the agency outreach youth to a local restaurant for dinner.
