Feeding the Troops (Students)

We thought it would be interesting to document how we feed our students here at Triumph Youth Services.

We start with a weekly trip to the grocery store. At first, we were quite the spectacle in the store, but now everyone knows who we are and the importance of the shopping. Warning: you might not want to get stuck in line behind us.  We usually end up checking out with 4 or 5 carts of groceries. This week was no exception because of the Thanksgiving Holiday approaching.

The food is healthy and delicious. The best part of our dinner meals is that the students plan and prepare the food every evening. They are all required to have a food handlers permit, so we help them to receive that. We feel this is extremely helpful. The young men are learning to plan, budget and prepare food to eat for themselves, but they will have their permit for future employment as well.
