Meal Service

The children attending Bethune are served a healthy well-balanced breakfast and lunch as well as a nutritional afternoon snack. All meals are served to the children under the Child Care Food Program at no additional charge regardless of race, color, sex, handicap, or national origin. There is no discrimination in the admissions policy, meal service, or the use of the facilities.

The staff Dietitian plans menus and prepares meals. The Dietitian is required to attend USDA workshops to stay informed on safe food preparation techniques. The Executive Director has also attended workshops on the USDA program, and the Administrative Assistant will soon attend. In the past, the Campbell County Extension Office has evaluated Bethune's food service program to measure its' effectiveness. Bethune was commended for its food service operation.
