The Daily Meal Count Form will be filled out as the meals are handed out. The Summer Volunteers can help the children unwrap the lunch box and help the children place any items that they do not want on the Share table.
Parents/ guardians  may eat with the children as long as they bring their own food.
Please encourage the children to use the Share table for any food item that they will not eat. Ice chest will be used to keep milk cold at the Share table.

Each day the Daily Meal Count form and the delivery slip will be picked up by the Community Relation rep. Please copy after they sign the form. ( we will assess this in the first week to see if this is possible).
