Special Project Highlights
Tillsonburg Lunch Program (2021.22 School Year)
Beginning in January 2022, OSNP Oxford partnered with First Baptist Church to launch a lunch program in response to student needs and challenges created COVID-19. First Baptist Church volunteers started out preparing lunch for two Tillsonburg schools, which and has since expanded to include a third school. The church has a team of volunteers aka the ”Lunch Bunch” that prepares 35-40 lunches every school day at their inspected church kitchen. Each lunch typically includes a main dish (wrap, sandwich, salad, etc.), a fruit, a vegetable, and a dessert/snack type food (granola bar, cookie, etc.).
Ontario Student Nutrition Program – Oxford (through Southwestern Public Health) provided start-up funds for the pilot of this program, and assisted in drafting a letter for the church to solicit donations from community organizations to help with the long-term funding of the project.
