Each day the kitchen prepares a lunch that is delivered hot to the various Community Action Marin Head Start, Early Head Start and Child Development Program classrooms. With obesity and diabetes becoming a national health epidemic, introducing healthy foods at an early age can have a long term positive impact on health.
