Rationale

On November 26, 2012, the Jefferson County Board of Education approved the modification of a fully depreciated JCPS school bus into a mobile cafeteria for the JCPS Summer Feeding Program.

During the summer of 2013, JCPS School and Community Nutrition Services launched the Bus Stop Café, a converted JCPS bus that provided meals to students in five neighborhood locations, taking summer meals to children where they live and play.

The Bus Stop Café was very successful and well received. Ten percent of the meals provided during the summer of 2013 were served on the Bus Stop Café. Several other neighborhoods have expressed an interest in having a "stop” in their area during the summer of 2014. In order to provide meals to more JCPS students during the summer, SCNS would like to launch a second Bus Stop Café.

During non-summer months the mobile cafeteria can be used for field days and emergency feeding situations.

JCPS Vehicle Maintenance will install and modify the equipment, which will be bid. This joint effort proved financially beneficial to last year’s project. We look forward to the collaboration again this year.
