- There's a great opportunity to serve more children breakfast and lunches at school
- The School Lunch Program was permanently established in 1946 to make lunches available to all school children nationwide.
- Every school, public or private non-profit, or residential child-care institution, is eligible to receive federal funds for lunch programs.
With today’s hectic lifestyles, it is difficult for parents to always pack their children’s lunches and even harder to put together all the ingredients that would meet the USDA requirements. Jakes has taken steps to make this easier for the parents and healthier for the children. By combining the best name brand products Jakes is the perfect partner for helping parents and Food Service Directors get children a meal that is like mom use to make.
With the right combinations of brand name products Jakes provides a nutritious meal that is ready eat. We realize that all schools are not the same and have developed products that are both refrigerated and non refrigerated for both breakfast and lunch. Kids have been buying our products for years at there local retailer and now we can deliver them right to your school door. This will allow children of all ages the opportunity to have an additional choice while providing the school food program a “grab and go” alternative that meets federally funded reimbursable requirements.
