It’s no small task to cover the cost of and feed around 90 youth in our four residential programs (including one specialized psychiatric treatment facility) each day. Each client is provided three meals a day and two snacks, but the federal government’s school nutrition program reimburses only a portion of the meal costs for breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. So how is the remainder of the food paid for? As food prices continue to rise, Sunrise now must cover the cost of around 82 cents a day per client, a number that hits the organization’s bottom line.
