Food program garcia street club serves a healthy breakfast and an afternoon snack each day to each child enrolled in the program. We offer milk, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and protein each day. Each class engages in the program by participating in a monthly nutrition education project to broaden children's food preferences, introduce new, healthy foods, and teach basic food cooking concepts. We also receive and distribute food to families with food insecurity through a partnership with the food depot food bank.

Our resource library is available to all families and includes literature on topics related to young children's development.
