Nutrition & Culinary Services
Since 1864, The Children's Home has transformed the lives of vulnerable children and their families. Today 20+ programs educate and treat children who may have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, abject poverty, and/or other factors that threaten their healthy growth and development. In recognition that food is a powerful tool in maximizing health another vital program - Nutrition & Culinary Services - has been added. This integrated health program provides: nutritious meals to students using foods proven to lessen mental health symptoms; nutrition education so students/families learn how to eat healthy on a budget; opportunities for older youth/young adults to gain job skills in the food service industry. Being committed to serve the “whole child”, TCH realizes how important proper nutrition is to children, especially those living in poverty. With the help of the Dater Foundation, TCH has seen a significant surge in the consumption of fresh foods and an increase in the percent of students who rate their health “Very Good to Excellent.”
