The Better 4 You Meals Menu Advisory Committee

Since 2011, Better 4 You Meals (B4YM) has provided schools throughout Southern California with an array of food services, ensuring that students gain access to meals with the highest nutritional content possible. To ensure the continued quality of its offerings, Better 4 You Meals operates a Menu Advisory Committee (MAC) which invites school staff members to offer feedback and ideas on how the company can improve.

The committee is available to all members of staff in schools that receive B4YM services, including teachers, meal coordinators, and school administrators. The MAC meets four times per year in the B4YM offices to offer constructive feedback on samples of B4YM food, and to reinforce the company’s and its clients commitments to serving the interests of students throughout Southern California.

MAC participants not only get to play a role in designing future B4YM meal services, but also meet peers from other schools with whom they can share insights. Further, attendees learn more about the National School Lunch Program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, and the School Breakfast Program, in addition to developing a greater understanding of the federal and state mandates that schools must follow.

About Better 4 You Meals (B4YM)

A Commerce, California-based food vendor, Better 4 You Meals (B4YM) is committed to providing nutritious breakfasts, lunches, suppers, and snacks to students in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. A group of administrative leaders from some of the state’s top charter schools and charter management organizations gathered to form the company in 2011. Under their direction, Better 4 You Meals quickly rose to prominence, serving more than 18,000 charter school breakfasts each morning to become one of the largest breakfast providers in California.

Currently serving approximately 70,000 meals per day, the company furthers its business by encouraging clients to take advantage of resources such as the USDA National School Lunch Program, which enables schools to receive an average of $0.15 in credits per lunch each day. B4YM also draws on the resources of the California Charter Schools Association and recently sponsored the third annual Leaders of Change event of the Alliance of College-Ready Public Schools.
