Bulk Meal Offerings for Summer Non-Congregate

Bulk meals are slowly being introduced in states across the country, as a way to offer more convenience and choice to families during the summer. A bulk meal service contains ingredients for meals that require minimal preparation – like a loaf of bread and turkey slices – rather than prepared meals. The Osage Prairie YMCA in Missouri creates detailed menus and instructions for how to use the contents to make up a portion and a reimbursable meal.
