This is Miss Harley.
Miss Harley has great taste.
Miss Harley loves our dumplings.
Miss Harley is the best. 🤗

Enjoyed the whole grain dumplings today along with the local snow peas from High on the Hill Farm in Cañon City! 🫛

They sold out at CCMS. (Top secret - dumplings will be featured again July 13th. Mark your calendars now 😉)

Coming soon….local Colorado cherries 🍒 🤩

We had the privilege of hosting the Colorado Department of Education and the USDA today to see our Summer Food Service Program!

Krista and Sarah were completing our summer review and Max and Marcellus were observing the audit.

They loved seeing everyone out at Macon Plaza after Canon City Library's storytime and taking advantage of the selfie station!

We are rolling into Summer Food Service week #2! 😎

Have you been to the Canon City Middle School yet for breakfast or lunch?!

When you go, make sure to grab a book to read while you are there and even take home! 📖
If you are so inclined, you can also bring books to leave for other kids, but no need to do that to take any! 📚

CCMS hours are Monday through Friday 8:00-9:00 for breakfast and 11:00-12:30 for lunch. Hope to see you soon!

Weekend kits are coming!! 🍽

This summer we are happy to try out 3 day grab and go meal kits! We will pass them out Friday at lunch to provide breakfast and lunch for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! 🎉

Available at CCMS 11:00-12:30, Macon Plaza 11:00-11:40, Florence Pool 11:30-11:50, Centennial Park 11:50-12:30, and CES 12:15-12:30.

No 'hot meal' will be available Friday. Take one of the awesome lunches out of your weekend bag! 🛍

One per child. Not available for purchase.

Participants at Boys and Girls Club and Kids Klub will be provided with an alternative hot lunch on Friday (as they have to eat on site). We are working very hard to get 2 day kits in for them to take home though. 🙌

Enjoy our first (and maybe last?) UNBOXING video if you want to see what awesome items you'll take home! 🥰

So proud of our team members who show up every school day to feed so many of our communities most important people…the kids!

The most regulated kitchen in your city is not a Michelin-starred restaurant.
 
It is your school cafeteria. And the people running it are there every single morning whether anyone notices or not.
 
That is what showing up looks like.
 
If you work in school nutrition, drop your school name below. We want this thread to be a map of every cafeteria showing up today. 💛
