City Fresh Foods has serviced the young population of Massachusetts for over 10 years.  We understand child care programs vary in size and set up.  We work closely with our child care providers establishing the best food service system for a particular center or mutiples of centers.  Providing healthier options for infants and toddlers is critically important in the effort to instill good eating habits early.  Over the years we have crafted child care menu's that cater to the taste buds of the little ones, while giving them healthy menu choices.

We partner with our child care centers to assess space and equipment needs and establish appropriate ordering, delivery and recieving procedures.

Child care programs can choose from a variety of packaging options including individually packed or family style lunches. 

Individually Packaged Meals offer child care centers an efficient way to distribute and feed students. Meals are packed in a three-compartment tray that features a leak-proof DuPont Mylar film lid that can be reheated in a microwave or oven.

Family Style Meals are delivered to programs that wish to serve the food themselves. Family style meals are packaged in hotel pans and sealed in plastic wrap and tinfoil. Family meals are held in warming boxes at a minimum of 200 degrees prior to departure from our commissary. All meals are transported to their destination in Cambro boxes or Insulated bags.

Cold Items including most breakfast and snack items, milks, desserts, and bread — are packed straight from our refrigeration units to coolers and lined with PCM thermal tech –30 degree gel packs that hold items below 40 degrees for up to 8 hours to ensure appropriate temperature upon delivery.

City Fresh Foods has a dedicated customer service line and pro-actively works with each child care provider in creating the most cost effective and operationally efficient food program.
