September 2023 – Winston Announces Equipment Grant to East Baton Rouge Parish School System
LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, October 3, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Winston Foodservice, in partnership with the School Nutrition Foundation, is pleased to announce the recipient of its annual Winston Equipment Grant. The 2023 grant recipient is East Baton Rouge Parish School System in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
This annual grant program was established in partnership with the School Nutrition Foundation (SNF) to help schools in need serve hot, nutritious meals to their students. Grant recipients may choose any ten pieces of Winston’s CVap® equipment, collectively valued at approximately $100,000. The grant recipient decides which equipment best suits their needs.
Dr. Nadine Mann is the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) Director for East Baton Rouge Parish School System. This school year, the school system will reopen three schools that were formerly used as charter schools.
“CNP was tasked with opening three schools this fall after food service and buildings were operated under the jurisdiction of charter schools. Most of the kitchen equipment was broken, with replacement falling on CNP. The Winston Equipment Grant provided much needed kitchen equipment for all three sites, plus a test kitchen for training staff. I am most grateful for the award,” said Dr. Mann.
While Winston Foodservice provides the grant, the company is not involved in selecting which district receives it.
