Fresh, Affordable School & Summer Camp Meals
Cost is always a concern for school and childcare facilities. To ensure key education programs are funded, many facilities are being forced to re-evaluate their meal programs. Those meals may be funded by the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) or Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
Fresh Food Factor is qualified and happy to serve as the administrator and provider of your NSLP, SFSP and CACFP if you do not have the personnel expertise to manage your programs. We recommend that you retain a local school food authority.
Our program delivers freshly prepared meals – breakfast, lunch, snacks and suppers – every single day at an affordable cost.
As a division of Volunteers of America, our priorities are to children and community members in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes.

Adding ingredients such as wine, lemon juice, vinegar, seasonings, vegetables, herbs and cheese can adjust the flavor profile, as can reducing the sauce to concentrate its flavor. For example, cayenne and a mixture of cheeses can be added to white sauce to turn it into a zesty cheese sauce. A classic demi-glace is made by adding an equal portion of veal stock to brown gravy. Marinara and puttanesca sauces are based on tomato sauce. The possibilities are endless.
Streamline your inventory, storage space and labor costs when you start with our base sauces.
The value of using base sauces is in saving prep time. All five sauces can take hours to prepare. The gumbo “roux” takes even more time. By using Fresh Food Factor’s Louisiana base sauces, a small kitchen can confidently serve a wide variety of dishes – each with its own flavor profile – with zero prep time or waste.
The advantage of using Fresh Food Factor’s base sauces is consistency. We source local ingredients and prepare our sauces to exacting standards, guaranteeing consistency from one batch to the next. Call or email us today to see how your company can benefit from our sauce bases.
