School-based Programs

School Meal Programs

We run hot meal programs at Jackson Secondary, Shuswap Middle School, South Canoe and Rachero Elementary. Our goals are to create culture and community around food, engage students in trying new foods and learning where there food comes from! 
Healthy food is pivotal to creating healthy brains, healthy bodies and positive mental health which will directly correlate to how well students can succeed in school. There are many barriers to getting local, healthy meals in schools, and Canada remains one of the few industrialized countries without a national school food program. School food is a great way to provide high quality, nutritious food to students who may otherwise not have access. 
For more information about this program, please email us at soupermeals@shuswapfood.ca

Gentle reminder about our deadline for meal orders and cancellation policy.

Ordering closes three days before the meal service date. This is to ensure that we have enough time to collect fresh ingredients from our local farmers/stores and give our dedicated cooks ample time to prepare the delicious and nutritious meals for our students.
If you need to cancel an order, you must do so before 9am on the order date in order to receive credit. You can do so by emailing orders@shuswapfood.ca

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation on both of these matters. We appreciate your support in helping us provide the best possible experience for your children.

We look forward to nourishing your children!

Volunteer Needs

In our School Programs, we enjoy the help of various volunteers who assist in the prep and plating of freshly made lunches. If you are interested in helping, please click the link below to sign up. Currently, while we do have a great roster of volunteers we could benefit from having some new volunteers to fill in some days and to ensure there is back up too!

Souper Meals at Zest Commercial Kitchen: The Zest environment is a fast paced and exciting adventure for volunteers! We make a whole lotta food in a few hours and the program does benefit from volunteers who have some kitchen and cooking experience. While many of our positions for Souper Meals are now staff, we do benefit greatly from having volunteers who can help with cooking plus delivery and/or serving soup at various Shuswap Schools.
