CKC Good Food follows the Entrepreneurial Operating System, a popular business operating model that ensures our entire team is working toward one common goal: the success of our clients’ food service programs.

Free School Meals may mean your school needs to add equipment to meet the increased participation. What might you need? Here are some suggestions.

CKC Good Food hosted taste testings with students and staff from 6 schools in our annual evaluation of potential entrees to add to our fall menus. The groups also toured our facility and learned about how school lunch menus are created.

As guests' preferences and dietary restrictions become more diverse, CKC Good Food Event Catering has expanded the number and variety of food bars on our menus. They're a popular choice because of the options they provide for guests.

Now is a great time to plan for the 2023-24 school year and the equipment your program may need. MDE is now accepting applications for its National School Lunch Program Equipment Grant.

CKC hates to see wasted food. That’s why we work hard to provide high-quality meals your scholars love. Our procurement and inventory management processes also integrate waste-reduction measures to reduce spoilage. These practices are good for business, the environment and the food supply.

More than 500,000 MN kids are food insecure. USDA summer meal programs offered through schools, nonprofits and camps help fill kids' nutritional needs when school's out.

Beginning next fall, schools that participate in the USDA's National School Lunch Program must participate in the state-funded Free School Meals Program and provide BOTH breakfast and lunch to all students. Don't panic...CKC will help guide you through the changes.
