Resources

We are a non-profit entity providing children with nutritious meals. The meals include breakfast, lunch, and snacks, or supper, and snacks, as well as milk and/or juice.

Children need proper nutrients to stay healthy and strong. This program establishes a foundation for healthy eating habits and avoids children’s dependency on unhealthy fast food, chips, and sugary soda drinks.

Please refer to our Programs page for eligibility requirements.

CBS is a faith-based entity that only provides high standard kosher food in the State of Pennsylvania and Delaware. Keeping kosher is a commitment. It governs what we eat and the way we prepare and utilize the kitchen and dishes. Anyone can eat kosher food. Kosher means that the meat and chicken are slaughtered according to the laws of the Bible. The Kosher standards prohibit the usage of horsemeat, pig, or seafood. We also provide paper goods and disposable utensils.
