🍽NOURISHING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍽
Check out the amazing transformation from an ordinary school bus to food service on wheels! @MCSDFlorida's Food & Nutrition Department, along with Wildar Golf Carts & Trailers went #ALLINMartin to feed kids who can't travel to feeding sites. lack of transportation to feeding sites is one of the largest barriers to meal access faced by students when school is not in session. Using Food Service funds, the District sought to address this challenge by remodeling an older school bus into a mobile kitchen and dining area for students. The new summer feeding bus, which is capable of seating more than 20 children, comes equipped with coolers and containers to ensure proper food storage requirements are met. Free onboard internet service and music are also part of the mobile feeding experience. All meals served will be free to children aged 18 and under.
