Fresh Meals Program
SOS served 89,295 healthy meals to low income children from our Callahan Community Kitchen, representing a 23% increase from 2023.
About This Program
The SOS Foundation began a fresh meals program in 2016, with expansion after the opening of its Callahan Community Kitchen in Key West in 2018. Meals prepared at the Kitchen utilize 90% fresh fruits and vegetables, prioritize whole wheat and 100% grains, and limit the consumption of high-sodium, high-salt snacks that are the norm for many children and seniors. Research shows that among low-income children, participation in CACFP increases the average consumption of vegetables.
