Hot Meal Program
Guidelines for Hot Meal Program Volunteers
First of all, thank you so much for your contributions of time,
energy, and financial resources to Toberman’s Hot Meal
Program. The children have come to rely on your wonderful food
for their evening meals, and both the families and our staff
here at Toberman appreciate your participation. We couldn’t
do it without you!
The program has progressed far beyond its meager beginnings
in 2003. The following are guidelines that will give some support
in your work for this outreach. We believe our children will
learn more and benefit greatly from a consistent, reliable approach
to the meal service.
1. We serve around 70-80 children aged 5-16 Monday through
Thursday of each week. We serve dinner at exactly 4:30 each
day.
2. Summer hours differ. We would appreciate a cold meal for
the kids that we can give them towards the end of each day.
Often we are on a field trip and wont be back to Toberman in
time for an actual meal service, so a “to-go” bag
is perfect.
3. A balanced meal is appreciated, as we try to instill “food
consciousness” in our children.
4. We are grateful for your provision of the necessary paper
goods
5. The children are expected to say “please” and
“thank you” and stand respectfully in line for their
food. They are also expected to try everything to expand their
culinary repertoire.
6. If desert is brought, please limit the amount to one per
child.
7. The room should be left as it was found
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for all that you do for Toberman.
