3. The goal of the Children’s Care Academy is to establish a
complimentary nutritional food program to further expand their
community outreach.
Two distinct objectives outlined below support the goal for the
establishment of the nutritional food program to be named the
Quick Bites Café:
· Providing food with increased nutritional value to help
decrease hunger among children attending the academy.
· Nutritious snacks and meals to help support parents and
caregivers to aid in the healing process and increase family time
at home.
The Children’s Care Academy of Pinellas is a promising
organization with a heart for serving children whose parent or
caregiver is undergoing cancer treatment in the community of
west central Pinellas County, Florida. As the organization
grows, the academy feels obligated to enhance its childcare
services by establishing a complimentary food program that will
provide nourishment for the children as well as providing
additional support for the parent or caregiver.
The Children’s Care Academy of Pinellas is augmenting its
community outreach program to include providing more
wholesome snacks and nutritious meals to help reduce hunger
among children. The academy currently provides simple snacks
for the children like Cheerios, Goldfish, pretzels and animal
crackers. While these snack foods are popular with the children,
they lack proper nutrition for children who may be hungry due
to missing a nourishing meal at home. The academy will begin
providing more wholesome snacks like yogurt, fruit and carrot
sticks along with a variety of organic and non-GMO snack
foods. Nutritious meals will include a light breakfast, lunch
and/or dinner for the children in our care. The Quick Bites Café
menu will follow heart healthy guidelines as closely as possible

4. to further ensure proper nutrition is achieved.
The snacks and meals will be provided on a complimentary
basis for each child during their time at the academy. Snacks
are currently provided by the owner of the academy with
occasional donations of fruit and cookies by Publix Super
Market. The new wholesome snack foods will be made
available to the academy through donations from Publix Super
Market and Whole Foods Market on a continual basis. The
academy will cease serving non-nutritional snacks and begin
offering a wider variety of wholesome snack foods by the end of
October, 2015. The Quick Bites Café will begin serving a light
breakfast, lunch and/or dinner to the children on a daily basis
within the next two years.
Offering children nutritious food while attending
the academy will help relieve stress on the parent or caregiver
by offering an alternative to packing a lunch or preparing a
meal at home for the child before or after a treatment session.
Receiving complimentary nourishment at the academy will help
the parent or caregiver save time and money and allow them to
concentrate more fully on their treatment and recovery. It will
also help pave the way for more quality family time together.
Currently, many of the parents or caregivers rely
on the snacks provided by the academy to tide the children over
while they are in our care. Some parents send a packed lunch
with their child, but often it is not enough to sustain the child
should their stay last longer than expected. Often, after a
tiresome treatment session, a child’s nutrition is dependent on a
fast food drivethrough restaurant for the sake of simplicity as
they head home for the afternoon or evening. The Quick Bites
Café will offer more wholesome snack food choices and meals,
alleviate the need to pack a lunch and help ease the worry of
providing a nutritious meal prior to or after treatment on the
days the children attend the academy. Providing children
complimentary wholesome snacks along with a nutritious food
program will afford parents and caregivers a better option to
unhealthy fast food, ease potential financial burdens and help

5. alleviate stress. Supporting the parent or caregiver in easing
stress can be very beneficial in the healing process. Parents and
caregivers will be able to reap the benefits of the food program
immediately upon commencement of providing wholesome
snacks by the end of October, 2015 and nutritious meals within
the next two years.
The Quick Bites Café is a unique outreach program that will act
as a building block in helping to create a healthier community
through nutrition and support.
