Racine Pop
Do the meals use local ingredients?
Yes! Racine Pop increasingly incorporates local and seasonal ingredients into its menus, in partnership with regional producers.
Our goal is to increase the proportion of regional and sustainable foods every year.
Who cooks the meals?
Three passionate cheffes, present every day in the school kitchen, prepare and serve meals to the children.
They prioritize healthy, colorful dishes adapted to young tastes.
What about allergies or dietary restrictions?
Our cheffes know the children and their needs well, and they have up-to-date allergen sheets.
However, if you are ordering for a child with an allergy, please contact us via the form so we can discuss the options and ensure your child’s safety.
Are the meals suitable for young children (daycare)?
Meals are designed for children, with appropriate portions and balanced flavors.
Our cheffes encourage children to taste without forcing them.
Feel free to write to us if you are interested in receiving meals prepared by Racine Pop for a daycare.
How do you choose your suppliers?
We work primarily with regional producers, groceries and farms, in order to support the local economy and highlight local foods.
Next, we collaborate with a supplier that prioritizes Quebec-grown foods, and as a last resort, we source certain products from elsewhere.
Can other schools be inspired by the Racine Pop model?
Absolutely! Racine Pop wishes to share its experience and inspire other schools.
If you are an institution or organization interested, contact us to learn more about our model and our support.
What are donations to Racine Pop used for?
Our donations directly support our projects:
- Maintaining healthy and affordable meals for all children;
- Setting up a solidarity fridge for students who did not have breakfast;
- Creating workshops and activities around food and developing food literacy projects;
- And our wildest dream is to eventually plant a food forest on the school grounds.
How can I get involved as a parent or volunteer?
Racine Pop always welcomes new ideas and helping hands!
You can write to us via our contact form to learn about current needs, whether it’s helping during meal service, participating in events, or supporting our community projects.
Do meals include dessert and a beverage?
Yes! Desserts are prepared based on fresh ingredients available.
Water is always offered, and on special occasions, the cheffes prepare smoothies or other fresh drinks.
We always favor simple, nutritious, and homemade choices.
