Posted on

Students at Columbia Elementary School received a big surprise in the form of a really big check during lunch in the cafeteria on Thursday. Columbia was one school selected, from schools around the country, to receive an $11,843 grant to help cover the cost of their rising school lunch debt. It is part of ZEE ZEES and the National Food Group’s “Grab The Tab” grant program, giving student lunch debt relief totaling more than $100,000 to schools in Illinois, Florida, and Columbia Elementary in West Jordan, Utah.

Samantha Bourque, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at National Food Group, said of the grant, “School foodservice is the heartbeat of our local communities, ensuring students are fueled and ready to learn.”

After the check presentation students at Columbia were engaged in an activity where they were asked to come up with ideas for a brand new ZEE ZEES snack they think kids across the country would love.

Thanks to ZEE ZEES and the National Food Group for their generosity, giving schools across the country school lunch debt relief.
