Children enrolled in The Children’s Collective Inc.’s programs receive FREE breakfast, lunch and/or snack based on when they attend the program.

The food is delicious and nutritious, prepared by The Children’s Collective Inc.’s caring food service staff.  It's made fresh, in accordance with State guidelines.  And it is served family style, so children learn to serve themselves, while talking and having fun with other children and teachers. Additionally, family style meals give children a needed sense of family and community.

This free service is provided not only to children, but is offered to all youngsters up to 17 years of age.

Meals are served every three hours. Between our Full Day and Part Day programs, TCCI serves more than 1,000 children a day; 248 days a year. The food service staff serves 19,000 meals a month; or about a quarter of a million meals a year.

And it is FREE to all children and youth enrolled in The Children’s Collective Inc.’s programs.
