MEAL PROGRAM

PLEASE READ — Meal Program Volunteer Group Organizers:

• Volunteer groups are responsible for planning, purchasing, preparing and serving the meal to Brisben residents.
• Groups serving dinner should have at least five volunteers to help.  If your group is larger than six, group members may need to rotate in and out of the commercial kitchen.  Groups serving lunches and breakfasts may need fewer volunteers.
• Children under age 13 are not permitted in the kitchen and an adult must accompany minors.
• The meal must be a balanced meal according to the USDA standards. This includes a protein, two vegetables or two fruits or one fruit and one vegetable, bread and 1% or skim milk. Your group’s menu must be provided to Brisben one week prior to the your group’s scheduled serving day.
