Food for Thought
The kitchen at the Achievement Academy may be the most important room in the house. We aim to keep our pantry and refrigerator stocked with nutritious, filling snacks and simple meals so that students are not trying to learn on empty stomachs. We also try to keep care packages on hand for students who would otherwise go hungry at home.
We are able to secure much of the food we need from the Food Bank, but supplies are not always adequate to our needs, especially for fresh foods. With 50 teenagers and young adults coming through the door each day, you can imagine what our grocery bill looks like!
