About the Manna

Many parents are rightly concerned about what their child will be given to eat for the week.

It is important to remember that we cannot force any child to eat a particular food.

If your child struggles with eating healthy or has an eating disorder,

please make your particular Youth Director aware of this prior to the week.

Breakfast & Dinner:

Each week will have their very own “Chefs” preparing both breakfast & dinner each night in the kitchen.

Each meal will be a healthy, well-balanced meal.

Lunch:

This meal will be provided by a team of parents from each church represented. It will be

assembled the morning of the day it is served and should include the following items:

* Sandwich (placed in a zip-lock bag):

* bread,

* lunch meat (ham, turkey),

* optional piece of cheese (packaged separately),

* condiment packet of mustard or mayonnaise,

* napkin &

* appropriate plastic utensil.

* Bag of chips or cookies

* Fruit (banana, apple, orange or a bag of grapes).

* All contents should be placed in a brown lunch bag for easy distribution.

* All perishable items should be placed in a cooler (provided) with ice to avoid spoiling.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION FOR LUNCH:

Sometimes parents will “chip in” and provide via a local, fast food restaurant.

Chic-Fil-A, McDonald’s & Zaxby’s have all been big hits in the past.

*Important reminder about ALL food.

DO NOT provide any food or make any food with nuts

especially peanuts, peanut oil or peanut butter in the ingredients.
