Our Food

CKC Good Food has been passionate about creating meals that appeal to a variety tastes and cultures since catering our first daycare in the early ’90s. We consistently serve diverse, flavorful and satisfying meals that reflect current food trends and traditional favorites. Our menus are regularly updated to introduce new entrees that excel in taste tests. This approach maintains strong participation, enhances your nutrition program and nourishes joyful eaters!

Rotating Menus Reflect Seasons & Cultures

Our standard 6-week lunch menu rotation incorporates seasonal, and when possible, locally sourced produce. Farm-fresh, crisp vegetables and juicy fruits grace trays during the early fall days while rich, robust entrees and sides provide the comfort food many prefer during colder months. We also fully use of USDA Foods (commodities) for client partners operating under the National School Lunch Program to help stretch food budgets further.

Client partners serving populations primarily of one ethnic heritage may choose our culturally influenced menus:

  • 6-week Latino-influenced menu rotation
  • 6-week Hmong-influenced menu rotation

Daily Variety Entices Participation

All our client partners can offer multiple lunch options to achieve a high degree of participation every day.

Your daily lunch options may include:

  • Hot entrée
  • Deli sandwich or wrap
  • Salad bar
  • Vegetarian menu
  • Freshly made deli salads
  • Allergen-free menu (no gluten, nuts, soy, dairy, seafood or eggs)
  • A la carte items
