Oranges are a sweet and delicious favorite amongst kids. Often, the bitter peel is the only thing standing between a a child and the tasty citrus.That’s why we serve our oranges pre-split into convenient wedges.They are much more appetizing and manageable for even the smallest hands.
We often serve more that 400 summer lunches from a single site so we have special equipment to wedge all those fresh oranges.
Now that the oranges are easy to eat, we serve a lot more. For this, we are especially grateful that Price Elks Lodge 1550 donated $2,000 to be used to serve fresh fruit daily this summer.
Oranges are an important part of everyone’s diet because of the much needed vitamin C. Come join us for summer lunch and enjoy some fresh fruit.
