Nutrition &
Meals
Fuel for Learning & Play
At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Santiam, we know that kids learn and grow best when they are well-nourished. That’s why every child in our programs receives healthy meals and snacks daily. From preschoolers to teens, we make sure no one goes home hungry.
Healthy Meals Every Day
Our nutrition program provides every child with one to two meals and snacks each day, ensuring kids in all programs are well-nourished and ready to thrive. Menus are balanced to meet USDA guidelines, and the program is designed to support working families by making sure children’s nutritional needs are met. Every meal is prepared with care, giving kids the energy they need for schoolwork, activities, and play.
